Subject: types.h: don't expose struct ustat to userspace
From: maximilian attems <max@xxxxxxx>
<linux/types.h> can't be used together with <sys/ustat.h> because they
both define struct ustat:
$ cat test.c
#include <sys/ustat.h>
#include <linux/types.h>
$ gcc -c test.c
In file included from test.c:2:
/usr/include/linux/types.h:165: error: redefinition of 'struct ustat'
has been reported a while ago to debian, but seems to have been
lost in cat fighting: http://bugs.debian.org/429064
