Message-Id: <1237476760.3266.13.camel@localhost.localdomain>
Date: Thu, 19 Mar 2009 15:32:40 +0000
From: Richard Kennedy <richard@....demon.co.uk>

Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: reorder struct inet6_ifaddr to remove padding on 64
bit builds
reorder struct inet6_ifaddr to remove padding on 64 bit builds
remove 8 bytes of padding so inet6_ifaddr becomes 192 bytes & fits into
a smaller slab.
Signed-off-by: Richard Kennedy <richard@....demon.co.uk>
----
patch against v2.6.29-rc8
I've compiled & booted with this patch, modules ipv6 & ip6_tables load
successfully, but I've not run any other tests.
regards
Richard
