During build I get the following error:
xt_DNETMAP.c: In function 'dnetmap_tg_check':
xt_DNETMAP.c:331: error: incompatible types when assigning to type
'kuid_t' from type 'unsigned int'
xt_DNETMAP.c:332: error: incompatible types when assigning to type
'kgid_t' from type 'unsigned int'
xt_DNETMAP.c:344: error: incompatible types when assigning to type
'kuid_t' from type 'unsigned int'
xt_DNETMAP.c:345: error: incompatible types when assigning to type
'kgid_t' from type 'unsigned int'
The target kernel is 3.8.7. Any idea what could cause this?

The above error (and this is not confined to just DNETMAP) seems to be
caused by CONFIG_UIDGID_STRICT_TYPE_CHECKS. When this is set, together
with CONFIG_PROC_FS also being enabled in the kernel, the uid and gid
fields of proc_dir_entry (proc_fs.h) are no longer "unsigned int", but a
struct types, so they should be accessed/set with uid.val and gid.val
instead - at least that is how I managed to get it work. I'll attach a
patch if there is interest in fixing this bug - just let me know.
