If the kernel is at version 3 and userspace is at version > 2 then new_member exists at different offsets of the structure. The > kernels iommu_uapi_data_size for V2 changed between version 2 and 3. > Thanks, > You are right. if we want to add new member to the end of the structure as well as expanding union, I think we have to fix the size of the union. Would this work? (just an example for one struct)
