Subject: Fix alignment of buffers in ra_process and dhcpv6_request
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=687b3c65c0460dd8c4ba7e63e3ae0ab20836e6e8;p=project%2Fodhcp6c.git

Fix alignment of buffers in ra_process and dhcpv6_request

The packet buffer needs to be 32-bit aligned to ensure that the various
32-bit fields we pick out are naturally aligned.

The control message buffers needs to be naturally aligned for struct
cmsghdr.
