Description
Commit 1afbcbacb38bccc3bac01ae24420658b4b8346c7 has added this line:
#if defined(_KERNEL) || defined(_KERNEL_STRUCTURES)
in sys/net/if_var.h to protect the definition of struct ifnet.
Some third-party applications depend on struct ifnet beeing defined without using
_KERNEL or _KERNEL_STRUCTURES. They built fine on DragonFly 2.10 but are now
broken on -master.
net/wminet in pkgsrc can be used as an example.
Updated by ftigeot over 12 years ago
struct ifnet should not be directly visible by userland programs
Applications will have to be patched on a case-by-case basis
