xfs_check_ondisk_structs() verifies that the sizes of the data types
used by xfs are correct via the XFS_CHECK_STRUCT_SIZE() macro.
Since the structures padding can vary depending on the ABI (e.g. on
ARM OABI structures are padded to multiple of 32 bits), it may happen
that xfs_dir2_sf_entry_t size check breaks the compilation with the
assertion below:
In file included from linux/include/linux/string.h:6,

_compiletime_assert(condition, msg, __compiletime_assert_, __LINE__)
Restore the correct behavior adding __packed to the structure definition.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
