Commit Message

Roi Dayan Nov. 4, 2019, 8:11 a.m. UTC
In kernels older than 4.8, struct tcf_t didn't have the firstuse.
If openvswitch is compiled with the compat pkt_cls.h then there is
a struct size mismatch between openvswitch and the kernel which cause
parsing netlink actions to fail.
After this commit parsing the netlink actions pass even if compiled with
the compat pkt_cls.h.

I think you can use AC_CHECK_MEMBERS:

AC_CHECK_MEMBERS([struct tcf_t.firstuse], [], [], [#include <linux/pkt_cls.h>
])
