That makes sense independent of 32 vs. 64 system. Part of the relevant
struct probably require 8 byte alignment:
typedef union epoll_data { void *ptr; int fd; uint32_t u32;
uint64_t u64; } epoll_data_t;
struct epoll_event { uint32_t events; /* Epoll events */ epoll_data_t data;
/* User data variable */ };
So using long long alignment seems the best bet here.
Greg, are you writing & testing a patch? Or should I write something for
you to test?
