tcp: beware of alignments in tcp_get_info()
With some combinations of user provided flags in netlink command, it is possible to call tcp_get_info() with a buffer that is not 8-bytes aligned. It does matter on some arches, so we need to use put_unaligned() to store the u64 fields. Current iproute2 package does not trigger this particular issue. Fixes: 0df48c26d841 ("tcp: add tcpi_bytes_acked to tcp_info") Fixes: 977cb0ecf82e ("tcp: add pacing_rate information into tcp_info") Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
