Hey, I want to package a project using GPL-3 as license. The project uses three structures defined in the kernel-include file <linux/nvme.h>. In Kernel 4.4 the header <linux/nvme.h> is removed from the headers exported to the user-space and replaced by another header <linux/nvme_ioctl.h> without the three structures needed.
One solution that allows building the project for Kernel-4.4+-systems is to copy the structures to a header file inside the project and include this file for 4.4+ kernels. My problem is that I'm not sure if it is allowed to use parts of this (internal) kernel header file in the GPL-3 project? What would be the correct header for the new include file (only the copyright/GPL-2 information from the kernel include file or something else)? Best regards, Jan
