Hello,
I was looking at some warnings generated during ARM build. I can see
53 warnings for my build based on v2.2.0-rc3, spread among:
app/test-pmd/{flowgen,icmpecho,txonly}.c
app/test/{packet_burst_generator,test_hash_functions,test_thash}.c
lib/librte_ether/rte_ether.h
drivers/net/bonding/rte_eth_bond_pmd.c
lib/librte_acl/{acl_gen,acl_run}.c
lib/librte_eal/linuxapp/eal/{eal_interrupts,eal_pci_vfio_mp_sync}.c
lib/librte_hash/rte_cuckoo_hash.c
lib/librte_ip_frag/rte_ipv4_reassembly.c
lib/librte_sched/{rte_bitmap.h,rte_sched.c}
I think, some of them are false-positives. In this RFC patch I tried to fix
only the rte_ether.h which uses the unaligned_uint16_t data type. I didn't
test it as it is just the first kick to solve more of those warns.
Regards
Jan
(I considered to not add the cover-letter as this is just a single small patch.
I hope it does not matter a lot. Is there any convention how to do this?)
