Description Étienne Buira 2016-12-01 09:07:14 UTC

/usr/include/linux/if.h (among others) are including /usr/include/linux/socket.h expecting this later to define struct sockaddr.
But /usr/include/linux/socket.h only defines __kernel_sockaddr_storage.

The issue is also present in linux-headers-4.8.

should be fixed in current versions by various clean up changes upstream.  and if not, feel free to file an updated bug in the kernel bugzilla.
