IB/core - ib_umad can cause address alignment fault
In user_mad.c, the definition for struct ib_umad_packet includes
struct ib_user_mad at an odd 32-bit offset. When ib_umad_write()
tries to assign rmpp_mad->mad_hdr.tid, there is an alignment fault on
architectures which have strict alignment for load/stores.
This patch fixes the problem by changing the offset on which
struct ib_user_mad is defined within struct ib_umad_packet.
Thanks go to John W. Marland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for finding this.
