[SCTP]: Fix sctp_cookie alignment in the packet.
On 64 bit architectures, sctp_cookie sent as part of INIT-ACK is not aligned on a 64 bit boundry and thus causes unaligned access exceptions. The layout of the cookie prameter is this: |<----- Parameter Header --------------------|<--- Cookie DATA -------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | param type (16 bits) | param len (16 bits) | sig [32 bytes] | cookie.. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The cookie data portion contains 64 bit values on 64 bit architechtures (timeval) that fall on a 32 bit alignment boundry when used as part of the on-wire format, but align correctly when used in internal structures. This patch explicitely pads the on-wire format so that it is properly aligned. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Sridhar Samudrala <sri@us.ibm.com>
