The change of sizeof(struct smc_diag_linkinfo) by commit79d39fc503("net/smc: Add netlink net namespace support") introduced an ABI regression: since struct smc_diag_lgrinfo contains an object of type "struct smc_diag_linkinfo", offset of all subsequent members of struct smc_diag_lgrinfo was changed by that change. As result, applications compiled with the old version of struct smc_diag_linkinfo will receive garbage in struct smc_diag_lgrinfo.role if the kernel implements this new version of struct smc_diag_linkinfo. Fix this regression by reverting the part of commit79d39fc503that changes struct smc_diag_linkinfo. After all, there is SMC_GEN_NETLINK interface which is good enough, so there is probably no need to touch the smc_diag ABI in the first place.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
