From ec35e852dc9de9809f88ff397d7a611208880f9f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Serban Constantinescu Date: Thu, 4 Jul 2013 10:54:46 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] staging: android: binder: fix alignment issues MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The Android userspace aligns the data written to the binder buffers to 4bytes. Thus for 32bit platforms or 64bit platforms running an 32bit Android userspace we can have a buffer looking like this: platform buffer(binder_cmd pointer) size 32/32 32b 32b 8B 64/32 32b 64b 12B 64/64 32b 64b 12B Thus the kernel needs to check that the buffer size is aligned to 4bytes not to (void *) that will be 8bytes on 64bit machines. The change does not affect existing 32bit ABI.
