Just to confirm my understanding; I've got these as: struct seccomp_notif { __u32 len; /* 0 4 */ __u32 pid; /* 4 4 */ __u64 id; /* 8 8 */ __u8 signaled; /* 16 1 */ /* XXX 7 bytes hole, try to pack */ struct seccomp_data data; /* 24 64 */ /* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) was 24 bytes ago --- */ /* size: 88, cachelines: 2, members: 5 */ /* sum members: 81, holes: 1, sum holes: 7 */ /* last cacheline: 24 bytes */ }; struct seccomp_notif_resp { __u32 len; /* 0 4 */ __s32 error; /* 4 4 */ __u64 id; /* 8 8 */ __s64 val; /* 16 8 */ /* size: 24, cachelines: 1, members: 4 */ /* last cacheline: 24 bytes */ }; in the next version. Since the structure has no padding at the end of it, I think the Right Thing will happen. Note that this is slightly different than what Kees suggested, if I add signaled after data, then I end up with: struct seccomp_notif { __u32 len; /* 0 4 */ __u32 pid; /* 4 4 */ __u64 id; /* 8 8 */ struct seccomp_data data; /* 16 64 */ /* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) was 16 bytes ago --- */ __u8 signaled; /* 80 1 */ /* size: 88, cachelines: 2, members: 5 */ /* padding: 7 */ /* last cacheline: 24 bytes */ }; which I think will have the versioning problem if the next member introduces is < 7 bytes.
