This doesn't look like a rename...
That corrects the type to what the member (and prototype for
ocxl_link_update_pe) declare it as.
The struct link there is bogus, it shouldn't even compile (since the intended
struct link is defined in a different compilation unit), but instead picks up a
different definition of 'struct link' from elsewhere.
Given there's only a handful of struct links defined across the entire kernel,
I'm going to guess that the definition it's picking up is in fact the ocxl one.
Unlikely, since that's never in a header. It wasn't caught since it was
assigned to/from a void*.
Ah, yeah that'd explain it... and it's a pointer so it never needs to
know its size. I'm clearly not very good at C.
I think the better solution here is to move struct ocxl_link into
ocxl_internal.h, change ocxl_fn::link to be struct ocxl_link * rather than void
*, and update the function signature for ocxl_link_update_pe() as well.
Not move it, but we could have an opaque declaration there.
Putting it there would fit with all the other ocxl_* structs, but either
way, we definitely need a declaration in there and get rid of the void*, t
