We recently found out that extending xsk_umem_reg might be a bit complicated due to not enforcing padding to be zero [0]. Add a couple of things to make it less error-prone: 1. Remove xdp_umem_reg_v2 since its sizeof is the same as xdp_umem_reg 2. Add BUILD_BUG_ON that checks that the size of xdp_umem_reg_v1 is less than xdp_umem_reg; presumably, when we get to v2, there is gonna be a similar line to enforce that sizeof(v2) > sizeof(v1) 3. Add BUILD_BUG_ON to make sure the last field plus its size matches the overall struct size. The intent is to demonstrate that we don't have any lingering padding. 0: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/ZqI29QE+5JnkdPmE@boxer/T/#me03113f7c2458fd08f3c4114a7a9472ac3646c98 Reported-by: Julian Schindel <mail@arctic-alpaca.de> Cc: Magnus Karlsson <magnus.karlsson@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Maciej Fijalkowski <maciej.fijalkowski@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Stanislav Fomichev <sdf@fomichev.me> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240726222048.1397869-1-sdf@fomichev.me Signed-off-by: Martin KaFai Lau <martin.lau@kernel.org>
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.
