Arnd Bergmann d1b24a5766 ext4: fix ext4_tune_sb_params padding 
commit cd16edba1c upstream.

The padding at the end of struct ext4_tune_sb_params is architecture
specific and in particular is different between x86-32 and x86-64,
since the __u64 member only enforces struct alignment on the latter.

This shows up as a new warning when test-building the headers with
-Wpadded:

include/linux/ext4.h:144:1: error: padding struct size to alignment boundary with 4 bytes [-Werror=padded]

All members inside the structure are naturally aligned, so the only
difference here is the amount of padding at the end. Make the padding
explicit, to have a consistent sizeof(struct ext4_tune_sb_params) of
232 on all architectures and avoid adding compat ioctl handling for
EXT4_IOC_GET_TUNE_SB_PARAM/EXT4_IOC_SET_TUNE_SB_PARAM.

This is an ABI break on x86-32 but hopefully this can go into 6.18.y early
enough as a fixup so no actual users will be affected.  Alternatively, the
kernel could handle the ioctl commands for both sizes (232 and 228 bytes)
on all architectures.

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 reStructuredText 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.
