    sctp: drop __packed from almost all SCTP structures · 85c727b5
    Marcelo Ricardo Leitner authored
    __packed is considered harmful as it potentially generates code that
    doesn't perform well and its usage should be avoided as much as
    possible.
    
    This patch drops __packed from all SCTP structures except one, which is
    sctp_signed_cookie. In there it's required, as per changelog on
    commit 9834a2bb ("[SCTP]: Fix sctp_cookie alignment in the packet.").
    
    After this patch, no alignment changes neither in x86 or x86_64 and
    no exceptions were noticed during testing on both archs.
    
    Code size for SCTP module also didn't change with this patch.
