[RFC PATCH] uapi: fix linux/packet_diag.h userspace compilation error
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 which
pulls in other headers and a lot of definitions with them.

I'm not quite comfortable with this approach but the alternative
has its own drawbacks.

Levin If if_link.h includes netdevice.h properly, let's try to do the same here as well. Thanks.

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 */ -- ldv

Thanks.
