I have complained to Linus about this a few times before, with no
response. The problem with the above construct is that you cannot
compile with gcc -Wall -pedantic-errors
Note that I'm referring to compiling *user code*, not kernel
code. Does this particular structure have to be visible outside the
kernel? If not, can someone please put an #ifdef around it?
If this structure needs to be visible outside the kernel, then this
structure needs to be reconsidered. It is really *extremely annoying*
to have to edit the file whenever I download a new kernel, just so I
can compile my userland networking code.
