Hi Stephan. during the process of preparign the headers for use in user-space they undergo a processing. On my system: types.h in the kernel is 5733 bytes The exported variant is 1430 bytes. I think that in your case the reason why they match in size is because your distro uses a kernel exported types.h. It should be simple to check. Just add a few lines to types.h in the kernel, around a line you know will be present in the user-space version. Export and see if the line is present.
