Bug ID: 273902
Summary: Backwards-incompatible size change in struct tcp_info
Product: Base System
Version: 14.0-STABLE
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Many People
Priority: ---
Component: kern
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
struct tcp_info, which can be retrieved via getsockopt with TCP_INFO , changes
between OS versions. However, the struct has a fixed size for
backwards-compatibility; a program compiled for stable/13 should be able to run
on stable/14 and successfully retrieve the struct; it simply won't know about
new fields.
Unfortunately, two recent changes to main accidentally enlarged the structure:
945f9a7cc9dcc071bfcc702748fbbb11087ae773 enlarged it by 12 bytes
22c81cc51636cfebe94e0979eb31556d87775938 enlarged it by 4 bytes
Meanwhile, two other recent changes added new fields but were careful to
maintain a fixed size: dc485b968ddeb and 3708c3d370f26.
We should reduce the padding field to compensate, and MFC before 14.0-RELEASE.
