I believe Eric said this was now likely fixed upstream. Have you asked
him to confirm? Let me copy him, and I'm sure he'll say it's all fine :)
nope, sorry - well, not exactly fine. ;)
We fixed on-disk structure alignment errors for XFS - this is a different problem, with
in-memory alignment...
These memory access problem on arm may well still exist.
It's "only" a warning about alignment though, right - I don't think this
results in any corruption etc, does it (anyway, filefrag is read-only).
And as the comments in this bug indicate, I'm really not quite sure what the accepted
method of fixing is. I imagine there are several applications that exhibit similar
behavior?
