[PATCH 2/2] uapi: add a compatibility layer between linux/uio.h and glibc

From: Dmitry V. Levin
Date: Tue Feb 21 2017 - 21:30:05 EST


Do not define struct iovec in linux/uio.h when <sys/uio.h> or <fcntl.h>
is already included and provides these definitions.

This fixes the following compilation error when <sys/uio.h> or <fcntl.h>
is included before <linux/uio.h>:

/usr/include/linux/uio.h:16:8: error: redefinition of 'struct iovec'
