[PATCH 1/1] Calculate offset to field 'init_uts_ns.name'

Alexander Egorenkov egorenar at linux.ibm.com
Wed Sep 16 05:08:21 EDT 2020


The offset has changed in linux-next (v5.9.0) from 4 to 0 because
there is no more 'kref' member variable at the beginning of 'init_uts_ns'.
The change was introduced with commit 9a56493f6942c0e2df1579986128721da96e00d8.
To handle both cases correctly, calculate the offset at run time instead.
