Not reported on the ML, and it's kinda annoying to repro because the uAPI header sync script isn't committed :/ You have to check this out https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/ethtool/ethtool.git/ and run a script like this to sync headers from the kernel (then build): #!/bin/bash -e sn="${0##*/}" export ARCH="x86_64" if [ ! -d "$LINUX_GIT" ]; then echo "${sn}: LINUX_GIT not set" >&2 exit 1 fi pushd "$LINUX_GIT" if [ -n "$1" ]; then git checkout "$1" fi desc=$(git describe --exact-match 2>/dev/null \ || git show -s --abbrev=12 --pretty='commit %h') kobj=$(mktemp -d) make -j16 O="$kobj" allmodconfig make -j16 O="$kobj" prepare make -j16 O="$kobj" INSTALL_HDR_PATH="${kobj}/hdr" headers_install popd pushd uapi find . -type f -name '*.h' -exec cp -v "${kobj}/hdr/include/{}" {} \; popd rm -rf "$kobj" git add uapi git commit -s -F - <<EOT update UAPI header copies Update to kernel ${desc}.
