Oh yeah, I didn't realize that. This patch breaks this assertion:
BUILD_BUG_ON failed: sizeof_field(struct io_uring_sqe, cmd) != 0
This assertion wants the size of cmd[] to be zero. Which is obviously
violated in this patch.
I only tested a liburing app that uses this header and validated
that the struct size is the same, but not its field. That's my
mistake.
I'm *not* going to send a v2 per Jens' comment.
