Sergei Trofimovich 02ec144292 scsi: hpsa: Fix boot on ia64 (atomic_t alignment)
Boot failure was observed on an HP rx3600 ia64 machine with RAID bus
controller: Hewlett-Packard Company Smart Array P600:

    kernel unaligned access to 0xe000000105dd8b95, ip=0xa000000100b87551
    kernel unaligned access to 0xe000000105dd8e95, ip=0xa000000100b87551
    hpsa 0000:14:01.0: Controller reports max supported commands of 0 Using 16 instead. Ensure that firmware is up to date.
    swapper/0[1]: error during unaligned kernel access

The unaligned access comes from 'struct CommandList' that happens to be
packed. Commit f749d8b7a9 ("scsi: hpsa: Correct dev cmds outstanding for
retried cmds") introduced unexpected padding and unaligned atomic_t from
natural alignment to something else.

This change removes packing annotation from a struct not intended to be
sent to controller as is. This restores natural `atomic_t` alignment.

The change was tested on the same rx3600 machine.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
