So it's forcing people to duplicate code for transitional devices. How about struct virtio_net_modern_hdr { struct virtio_net_hdr_mrg_rxbuf hdr; } This will also make it look nicer when we start adding stuff in the header, the main header is separated in a struct by its own, so it's easy to apply operations such as sizeof. > /* > * Control virtqueue data structures > -- > 2.1.0 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
