Subject: Drivers: hv: util: make struct hv_do_fcopy match Hyper-V host messages
From: Vitaly Kuznetsov <[email protected]>
commit 31d4ea1a093fcf668d5f95af44b8d41488bdb7ec upstream.
An attempt to fix fcopy on i586 (bc5a5b0 Drivers: hv: util: Properly pack the
data
for file copy functionality) led to a regression on x86_64 (and actually didn't
fix
i586 breakage). Fcopy messages from Hyper-V host come in the following format:
struct do_fcopy_hdr | 36 bytes
0000 | 4 bytes
offset | 8 bytes
size | 4 bytes
data | 6144 bytes
On x86_64 struct hv_do_fcopy matched this format without '
__attribute__((packed))'
and on i586 adding ' __attribute__((packed))' to it doesn't change anything.
Keep
the structure packed and add padding to match re reality. Tested both i586 and
x86_64
on Hyper-V Server 2012 R2.
