A minimal example would be
t1.c:
struct s1;
struct s2 {
int i;
}
struct s3 {
struct s1 *ptr1;
struct s2 *ptr2;
}
void foo(struct s3*);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo);
t2.c:
struct s1 {
int j;
}
struct s2;
struct s3 {
struct s1 *ptr1;
struct s2 *ptr2;
}
void foo(struct s3*);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo);
genksyms expands this to
void foo ( struct s3 { struct s1 { UNKNOWN } * ptr1 ; struct s2 { int i ; } * ptr2 ; } * )
or
void foo ( struct s3 { struct s1 { int j ; } * ptr1 ; struct s2 { UNKNOWN } * ptr2 ; } * )
respectively. The types are the same, but their visibility in the
different compilation units differs.
