Subject: [PATCH] scsi: lpfc: fix lpfc_name struct packing

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>

clang points out that the lpfc_name structure has an 8-byte alignement requirement
on most architectures, but is embedded in a number of other structures that are
forced to be only 1-byte aligned:

drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_hw.h:1516:30: error: field pe within 'struct lpfc_fdmi_reg_port_list' is less aligned than 'struct lpfc_fdmi_port_entry' and is usually due to 'struct lpfc_fdmi_reg_port_list' being packed, which can lead to unaligned accesses [-Werror,-Wunaligned-access]
        struct lpfc_fdmi_port_entry pe;
drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_hw.h:850:19: error: field portName within 'struct _ADISC' is less aligned than 'struct lpfc_name' and is usually due to 'struct _ADISC' being packed, which can lead to unaligned accesses [-Werror,-Wunaligned-access]
drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_hw.h:851:19: error: field nodeName within 'struct _ADISC' is less aligned than 'struct lpfc_name' and is usually due to 'struct _ADISC' being packed, which can lead to unaligned accesses [-Werror,-Wunaligned-access]
drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_hw.h:922:19: error: field portName within 'struct _RNID' is less aligned than 'struct lpfc_name' and is usually due to 'struct _RNID' being packed, which can lead to unaligned accesses [-Werror,-Wunaligned-access]
drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_hw.h:923:19: error: field nodeName within 'struct _RNID' is less aligned than 'struct lpfc_name' and is usually due to 'struct _RNID' being packed, which can lead to unaligned accesses [-Werror,-Wunaligned-access]

>From the git history, I can see that all the __packed annotations were done
specifically to avoid introducing implicit padding around the lpfc_name
instances, though this was probably the wrong approach.

To improve this, only annotate the one uint64_t field inside of lpfc_name
as packed, with an explicit 4-byte alignment, as is the default already on
the 32-bit x86 ABI but not on most others. With this, the other __packed
annotations can be removed again, as this avoids the incorrect padding.

Two other structures change their layout as a result of this change:

- struct _LOGO never gained a __packed annotation even though it has the
  same alignment problem as the others but is not used anywhere in the
  driver today.

- struct serv_param similarly has this issue, and it is used, my guess
  is that this is only an internal structure rather than part of a binary
  interface, so the padding has no negative effect here.
