Subject: [PATCH v3 1/4] dma-mapping: benchmark: Add padding to ensure uABI remained consistent
Date: Fri, 9 May 2025 10:02:35 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250509020238.3378396-2-xiaqinxin@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250509020238.3378396-1-xiaqinxin@huawei.com>

The padding field in the structure was previously reserved to
maintain a stable interface for potential new fields, ensuring
compatibility with user-space shared data structures.
However,it was accidentally removed by tiantao in a prior commit,
which may lead to incompatibility between user space and the kernel.

This patch reinstates the padding to restore the original structure
layout and preserve compatibility.

Fixes: 8ddde07a3d28 ("dma-mapping: benchmark: extract a common header file for map_benchmark definition")
