Dmitry V. Levin c86d86131a Partially revert "net/smc: Add netlink net namespace support"
The change of sizeof(struct smc_diag_linkinfo) by commit 79d39fc503
("net/smc: Add netlink net namespace support") introduced an ABI
regression: since struct smc_diag_lgrinfo contains an object of
type "struct smc_diag_linkinfo", offset of all subsequent members
of struct smc_diag_lgrinfo was changed by that change.

As result, applications compiled with the old version
of struct smc_diag_linkinfo will receive garbage in
struct smc_diag_lgrinfo.role if the kernel implements
this new version of struct smc_diag_linkinfo.

Fix this regression by reverting the part of commit 79d39fc503 that
changes struct smc_diag_linkinfo.  After all, there is SMC_GEN_NETLINK
interface which is good enough, so there is probably no need to touch
the smc_diag ABI in the first place.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
