Severity: normal
Hi,
linux/netlink.h includes linux/socket.h for the definition of
sa_family_t (see the comment in that file). However the shipped
linux/socket.h doesn't contain that typedef.
The upstream kernel headers include the typedef. Please add this to
socket.h since otherwise compilation of userspace programs (e.g. the
check for macvtap in libvirt) fails.
Cheers,
-- Guido

We now have __kernel_sa_family_t defined in <linux/socket.h> and used in
<linux/netlink.h>. Not exactly what you asked for, but seems to fix the
real problem.
The upstream commit was:
commit 6602a4baf4d1a73cc4685a39ef859e1c5ddf654c

net: Make userland include of netlink.h more sane.
Let us know if you think this is worth including in a stable update.
Ben.
