patch 'eal/x86: fix unaligned access for small memcpy' has been queued to stable release 21.11.2

[Kevin Traynor <ktraynor@redhat.com>]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 21.11.2

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 05/30/22. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable/commit/29fa5a6eaff312cc1163fff17ac4455c1cf63361

Thanks.

Kevin

Subject: [PATCH] eal/x86: fix unaligned access for small memcpy

[ upstream commit 00901e4d1a9ee7c7b43d0a3592683f0a420a331d ]

Calls to rte_memcpy for 1 < n < 16 could result in unaligned
loads/stores, which is undefined behaviour according to the C
standard, and strict aliasing violations.

The code was changed to use a packed structure that allows aliasing
(using the __may_alias__ attribute) to perform the load/store
operations. This results in code that has the same performance as the
original code and that is also C standards-compliant.

Fixes: af75078fece3 ("first public release")
