[PATCH] UAPI: net/sched: Open-code __struct_group() in flex struct tc_u32_sel
From: Kees Cook
Date: Mon Dec 16 2024 - 22:00:15 EST
This switches to using a manually constructed form of struct tagging
to avoid issues with C++ being unable to parse tagged structs within
anonymous unions, even under 'extern "C"':
../linux/include/uapi/linux/pkt_cls.h:25124: error: ‘struct tc_u32_sel::<unnamed union>::tc_u32_sel_hdr,’ invalid; an anonymous union may only have public non-static data members [-fpermissive]
To avoid having multiple struct member lists, use a define to declare
them.
