Replace MAX_ADDR_LEN with its numeric value to fix the following linux/packet_diag.h userspace compilation error: /usr/include/linux/packet_diag.h:67:17: error: 'MAX_ADDR_LEN' undeclared here (not in a function) __u8 pdmc_addr[MAX_ADDR_LEN]; This is not the first case in the UAPI where the numeric value of MAX_ADDR_LEN is used, uapi/linux/if_link.h already does the same, and there are no UAPI headers besides these two that use MAX_ADDR_LEN. The alternative fix would be to include <linux/netdevice.h> which pulls in other headers and a lot of definitions with them. Signed-off-by: Dmitry V. Levin <redacted>If if_link.h includes netdevice.h properly, let's try to do the same here as well.Sorry if my words weren't clear enough: no, if_link.h doesn't include netdevice.h, it uses the _numeric_ value instead: $ grep MAX_ADDR_LEN include/uapi/linux/if_link.h __u8 mac[32]; /* MAX_ADDR_LEN */
Ok then we might as well do the same thing here, please resubmit this patch formally. Thanks.
