From aa0218d6a12814fac50b287214f9f3b0b99e11b1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brian Behlendorf Date: Tue, 7 Jan 2014 23:24:37 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Fix nvlist 'Bus Error' for Sparc The mis-aligned memory accesses in nvpair_native_embedded() and nvpair_native_embedded_array() will cause a 'Bus Error' for architectures such as Sparc which not fully byte addressible. To avoid this issue care is taken to avoid dereferencing the potentially mis-aligned packed nvlist_t.
