[PATCH v3 1/4] dma-mapping: benchmark: Add padding to ensure uABI remained consistent
From: Qinxin Xia
Date: Thu May 08 2025 - 22:18:24 EST
The padding field in the structure was previously reserved to
maintain a stable interface for potential new fields, ensuring
compatibility with user-space shared data structures.
However,it was accidentally removed by tiantao in a prior commit,
which may lead to incompatibility between user space and the kernel.
This patch reinstates the padding to restore the original structure
layout and preserve compatibility.
