Subject: [PATCH] virtio: don't expose u16 in userspace api
Date: Fri, 3 May 2013 17:49:41 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130503174941.043d10b7@nehalam.linuxnetplumber.net> (raw)

Programs using virtio headers outside of kernel will no longer
build because u16 type does not exist in userspace. All user ABI
must use __u16 typedef instead.

Bug introduce by:
  commit 986a4f4d452dec004697f667439d27c3fda9c928
  Author: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com>
  Date:   Fri Dec 7 07:04:56 2012 +0000
