Description Neil Horman 2011-07-26 11:21:58 UTC
RPS/RFS data at the end of net_device struct breaks previous ABI commitment.  Need to move it to a safe place

Hi Neil,

How to check ABI commitment is not broken by the net_device struct to test this bug?

Thanks,
Weibing Zhang

You need to check if struct net_device won't change size.
