From 7cd636fe9ce5de0051c11283911baca4291868c8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki Date: Sun, 13 Apr 2008 23:33:52 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [IPV6]: IPv6 extension header structures need to be packed. struct ipv6_opt_hdr is the common structure for IPv6 extension headers, and it is common to increment the pointer to get the real content. On the other hand, since the structure consists only of 1-byte next-header field and 1-byte length field, size of that structure depends on architecture; 2 or 4. Add "packed" attribute to get 2.
