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.
