Subject: [PATCH 4.4 08/20] tcp: fix tcp_fastopen unaligned access complaints on sparc

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Shannon Nelson <shannon.nelson@...cle.com>


[ Upstream commit 003c941057eaa868ca6fedd29a274c863167230d ]

Fix up a data alignment issue on sparc by swapping the order
of the cookie byte array field with the length field in
struct tcp_fastopen_cookie, and making it a proper union
to clean up the typecasting.

This addresses log complaints like these:
    log_unaligned: 113 callbacks suppressed
    Kernel unaligned access at TPC[976490] tcp_try_fastopen+0x2d0/0x360
    Kernel unaligned access at TPC[9764ac] tcp_try_fastopen+0x2ec/0x360
    Kernel unaligned access at TPC[9764c8] tcp_try_fastopen+0x308/0x360
    Kernel unaligned access at TPC[9764e4] tcp_try_fastopen+0x324/0x360
    Kernel unaligned access at TPC[976490] tcp_try_fastopen+0x2d0/0x360
