[kernel] rh_kabi: introduce RH_KABI_EXCLUDE
|
|
|
|
Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1568551
|
|
|
|
Add a way to exclude certain fields of a structure that would be otherwise
|
|
kABI whitelisted. The new RH_KABI_EXCLUDE macro serves two purposes:
|
|
|
|
1. Not adding the excluded fields to symbol checksums, making their later
|
|
changes easier.
|
|
|
|
2. Document that the given fields are not considered to be kABI whitelisted
|
|
by Red Hat.
|
|
|
|
Note that:
|
|
|
|
- This needs to be done _before_ the actual structure gets whitelisted.
|
|
|
|
- It still allows later conversion of the excluded fields to whitelist
|
|
covered fields by simply changing RH_KABI_EXCLUDE to RH_KABI_EXTEND.
|
|
|
|
- The excluded fields can be modified at will but extra care needs to be
|
|
taken to not cause problems with 3rd party drivers using the fields. See
|
|
the comment inside the patch for details.
