In the arm random config file, kconfig option 'CONFIG_AEABI' is
disabled which results in adding the compiler flag '-mabi=apcs-gnu'.
This causes the compiler to add padding in virtchnl2_ptype
structure to align it to 8 bytes, resulting in the following
size check failure:
include/linux/build_bug.h:78:41: error: static assertion failed: "(6) == sizeof(struct virtchnl2_ptype)"
78 | #define __static_assert(expr, msg, ...) _Static_assert(expr, msg)
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
include/linux/build_bug.h:77:34: note: in expansion of macro '__static_assert'
77 | #define static_assert(expr, ...) __static_assert(expr, ##__VA_ARGS__, #expr)
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/net/ethernet/intel/idpf/virtchnl2.h:26:9: note: in expansion of macro 'static_assert'
26 | static_assert((n) == sizeof(struct X))
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/net/ethernet/intel/idpf/virtchnl2.h:982:1: note: in expansion of macro 'VIRTCHNL2_CHECK_STRUCT_LEN'
982 | VIRTCHNL2_CHECK_STRUCT_LEN(6, virtchnl2_ptype);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Avoid the compiler padding by using "__packed" structure
attribute for the virtchnl2_ptype struct.
