[ Upstream commit db7202dec92e6caa2706c21d6fc359af318bde2e ] The eth_addr member is passed to ether_addr functions that require 2-byte alignment, therefore the member must be properly aligned to avoid unaligned accesses. The problem is in place since the initial merge of multicast to unicast: commit 6db6f0eae6052b70885562e1733896647ec1d807 bridge: multicast to unicast Fixes: 6db6f0eae605 ("bridge: multicast to unicast") Cc: Roopa Prabhu <roopa@cumulusnetworks.com> Cc: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@cumulusnetworks.com> Cc: David S.

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.
