Damnit, we have to do the same thing for struct ethtool_rx_ntuple: $ cc -m64 test.c $ ./a.out sizeof(struct ethtool_rx_ntuple) = 184 offsetof(ethtool_rx_ntuple, fs) = 8 offsetof(ethtool_rx_ntuple_flow_spec, vlan_tag) = 148 offsetof(ethtool_rx_ntuple_flow_spec, data) = 152 $ cc -m32 test.c $ ./a.out sizeof(struct ethtool_rx_ntuple) = 176 offsetof(ethtool_rx_ntuple, fs) = 4 offsetof(ethtool_rx_ntuple_flow_spec, vlan_tag) = 148 offsetof(ethtool_rx_ntuple_flow_spec, data) = 152 At least there's only one hole to deal with in this case.
