I'm sorry but this is 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 is changed by
this patch.

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.
