[strongSwan-dev] [PATCH net-next 0/2] Pack struct xfrm_usersa_info and struct xfrm_userpolicy_info

[Fan Du]

When trying to setup IPsec configuration on a 64bits host with
iproute2(32bits compiled), the intened xfrm policy and sa is
either deficit or wrong when kernel trying to parse user land
information.

Further investigatino shows that:
L: kernel
R: iproute2

          sizeof       userpolicy      usersa
64bits(unpacked)        168/168        224/224
32bits(unpacked)        164/164        220/220
                         ^   ^
                         L   R

To keep kernel and user land see a consistent structure, after
add packing attribute, now it looks like this:

64bits(  packed)        164/164        217/217
32bits(  packed)        164/164        217/217
                         ^   ^
                         L   R

Then different kernel/iproute2 build configuration will not impact IPsec setup.
