udphdr doesn't need 4 byte alignment, just 2 byte. struct ip has an alignment of 2. What makes the compiler unhappy is the abuse of using a uint32_t pointer as a lazy way to multiply hlen by 4. The compiler (correctly) thinks this means that the intermediate up pointer requires 4 byte alignment. One could instead do something rather gross like:

All the solutions do not address the underlying problem: Do we know, that the payload is correctly assigned or not?
If we know, that we should use

alignas(int32_t) void * pstart = &up[p->ip_hl];
struct udphdr *u = pstart;

@melifaro may you please point me to the problem with QinQ processing?
How can the processing work, if the ethertype information is lost?

Regardless of what encap is (vlan or qinq) the vlan code effectively does the same - pullups the header and record the tag.
If NIC does not support QINIQ tag removal (or vlanhwtag is explicitly turned off), such frames will be dropped after the change, which is the breakage I'm talking about

The motivation behind the check can be understood from the viewpoint of a working system. It is an early dropout for a disconnected system.

The original (Netgate internal) commit message also mentions a desire to avoid netgraph overhead ("This should prevent the netgraph queue to slow down network performance on fast links."), although I've not yet been able to measure any such impact myself. pfSense will actively detach interfaces unless/until it wants to use netgraph on them.
