wifi: mac80211: add __packed to union members of struct ieee80211_rx_status
The arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc compiler, align the field followed by union members, causing size of struct ieee80211_rx_status over skb->cb (48 bytes). By investigation, the union member starts at offset 32, and the offset of next field rate_idx is 36 instead of expected 33, and the total size is (unexpected) 52. When compiling rtw88 driver, it throws: In file included from /work/linux-src/linux-stable/include/linux/string.h:386, from /work/linux-src/linux-stable/include/linux/bitmap.h:13, from /work/linux-src/linux-stable/include/linux/cpumask.h:11, from /work/linux-src/linux-stable/include/linux/smp.h:13, from /work/linux-src/linux-stable/include/linux/lockdep.h:14, from /work/linux-src/linux-stable/include/linux/mutex.h:17, from /work/linux-src/linux-stable/include/linux/kernfs.h:11, from /work/linux-src/linux-stable/include/linux/sysfs.h:16, from /work/linux-src/linux-stable/include/linux/kobject.h:20, from /work/linux-src/linux-stable/include/linux/dmi.h:6, from pci.c:5: In function 'fortify_memcpy_chk', inlined from 'rtw_pci_rx_napi.constprop' at pci.c:1095:4: /work/linux-src/linux-stable/include/linux/fortify-string.h:569:25: warning: call to '__write_overflow_field' declared with attribute warning: detected write beyond size of field (1st parameter); maybe use struct_group()? [-Wattribute-warning] 569 | __write_overflow_field(p_size_field, size); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After this patch, the size of struct ieee80211_rx_status is 48.
