Subject: [PATCH] VSOCK: fix uapi/linux/vm_sockets.h incomplete types
Date: Tue, 12 Sep 2017 17:34:35 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170912163435.4049-1-stefanha@redhat.com> (raw)
This patch fixes the following compiler errors when userspace
applications use the vm_sockets.h header:
include/uapi/linux/vm_sockets.h:148:32: error: invalid application of ‘sizeof’ to incomplete type ‘struct sockaddr’
unsigned char svm_zero[sizeof(struct sockaddr) -
^~~~~~
include/uapi/linux/vm_sockets.h:149:18: error: ‘sa_family_t’ undeclared here (not in a function)
sizeof(sa_family_t) -
^~~~~~~~~~~
Two issues:
1. In the kernel struct sockaddr comes in via <linux/socket.h> but in
userspace <sys/socket.h> is required.
2. struct sockaddr_vm has a __kernel_sa_family_t field so let's be
consistent and use the same type for the sizeof(sa_family_t)
calculation.
Currently userspace applications work around this broken header by first
including <sys/socket.h>. In the kernel there is no compiler error
because <linux/socket.h> provides everything. It's worth fixing the
header file though.
