Currently we have an issue with struct sctp_event_subscribe. Kernel won't accept any buffer larger than the version of sctp_event_subscribe that is expects, and because of that we cannot simply have a copy of kernel headers inside lksctp-tools. If we do, we have no way to use the right version of sctp_event_subscribe. That pretty much means that currently one has to tweak the internal copy to comply with what the kernel one is using, which is really not good. This patchset introduces probing of kernel features during build time into lksctp-tools. With that, we can tell the applications that this or that feature is enabled or not in the environment that it was compiled on. With the removal of the internal copy, other issues came up. Such as the usage of sctp_peeloff_flags_arg_t by default, regardless of the kernel being used. This became an issue because old kernels don't have such struct, and thus the library doesn't build. Another example is support for sendv/recv. Even if we use a private copy with the symbols needed, the lib functions will compile but unit tests will fail, as such function calls will always return EINVAL. A check for recent UAPI changes was done by me and Xin Long and this is the list that we came up with. Hopefully this restores lksctp-tools compatibility with older kernels.
