netfilter: nf_conntrack_tcp: fix unaligned memory access in tcp_sack
This patch fixes an unaligned memory access in tcp_sack while reading sequence numbers from TCP selective acknowledgement options. Prior to applying this patch, upstream linux-2.6.27.20 was occasionally generating messages like this on my sparc64 system: [54678.532071] Kernel unaligned access at TPC[6b17d4] tcp_packet+0xcd4/0xd00 Acked-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>
