public. Thank you @electroCutieRemoved the compile-time Linux version check, and replaced it with a Cargo feature.
The Linux version check was overly restrictive, even on systems that did have the right kernel version installed but had older headers in /usr/include/linux
. Beyond that, this check made it more difficult to compile on a different host than what's targeted.
There is now a linux4_14
feature flag on userfaultfd-sys
, which turns on and tests the extra constants available in that version. Since userfaultfd
did not make use of any of those newer features, it doesn't have a feature flag yet.
Applications should take care when initializing with UffdBuilder
to specify the features and ioctls they require, so that an unsupported version will be detected at runtime.
