With the addition of ssi_perf_data and ssi_perf_type struct signalfd_siginfo is dangerously close to running out of space. All that remains is just enough space for two additional 64bit fields. A practice of adding all possible siginfo_t fields into struct singalfd_siginfo can not be supported as adding the missing fields ssi_lower, ssi_upper, and ssi_pkey would require two 64bit fields and one 32bit fields. In practice the fields ssi_perf_data and ssi_perf_type can never be used by signalfd as the signal that generates them always delivers them synchronously to the thread that triggers them. Therefore until someone actually needs the fields ssi_perf_data and ssi_perf_type in signalfd_siginfo remove them. This leaves a bit more room for future expansion. v1: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210503203814.25487-12-ebiederm@xmission.com v2: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210505141101.11519-12-ebiederm@xmission.com Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210517195748.8880-5-ebiederm@xmission.com Reviewed-by: Marco Elver <elver@google.com> Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

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.
