commit250367c59eupstream. Invoking the following commands on a 32-bit architecture with strict alignment requirements (such as an ARMv7-based Raspberry Pi) results in an alignment exception: # nft add table ip test-ip4 # nft add chain ip test-ip4 output { type filter hook output priority 0; } # nft add rule ip test-ip4 output quota 1025 bytes Alignment trap: not handling instruction e1b26f9f at [<7f4473f8>] Unhandled fault: alignment exception (0x001) at 0xb832e824 Internal error: : 1 [#1] PREEMPT SMP ARM Hardware name: BCM2835 [<7f4473fc>] (nft_quota_do_init [nft_quota]) [<7f447448>] (nft_quota_init [nft_quota]) [<7f4260d0>] (nf_tables_newrule [nf_tables]) [<7f4168dc>] (nfnetlink_rcv_batch [nfnetlink]) [<7f416bd0>] (nfnetlink_rcv [nfnetlink]) [<8078b334>] (netlink_unicast) [<8078b664>] (netlink_sendmsg) [<8071b47c>] (sock_sendmsg) [<8071bd18>] (___sys_sendmsg) [<8071ce3c>] (__sys_sendmsg) [<8071ce94>] (sys_sendmsg) The reason is that nft_quota_do_init() calls atomic64_set() on an atomic64_t which is only aligned to 32-bit, not 64-bit, because it succeeds struct nft_expr in memory which only contains a 32-bit pointer. Fix by aligning the nft_expr private data to 64-bit.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
