From: Thomas Martitz t.martitz@avm.de Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2020 14:26:03 +0200
The eth_addr member is passed to ether_addr functions that require 2-byte alignment, therefore the member must be properly aligned to avoid unaligned accesses.
The problem is in place since the initial merge of multicast to
unicast:
commit 6db6f0eae6052b70885562e1733896647ec1d807 bridge: multicast
to unicast
Fixes: 6db6f0eae605 ("bridge: multicast to unicast") Cc: Roopa Prabhu roopa@cumulusnetworks.com Cc: Nikolay Aleksandrov nikolay@cumulusnetworks.com Cc: David S.

Applied and queued up for -stable.
Awesome, thank you! I was about to resend the patch with the Nikolay's Acked-By, but turns out that wasn't necessary.
Please do not explicitly CC: stable for networking changes, I take care of those by hand.
Alright, I'll remeber that. This was my very first submission to the kernel, everywhere it is suggested to Cc: stable.
Best regards.
