Hi,
The patch below is to accomodate IPoIB link layer address in the
sockaddr_ll struct so that user space can send and receive IPoIB link
later packets. Unfortunately, IPoIB has 20 bytes LL addresses rather
than the 8 byte MAC addresses (or under) used by other LLs.
There is a similar change to both:
/usr/include/linux/if_packet.h
/usr/include/netpacket/packet.h
as in:
include/linux/if_packet.h below
to increase sll_addr from 8 to 20 bytes.
Thanks.

sockaddr_ll changes to accomodate IPoIB interfaces.
This is due to the fact that the IPoIB link layer
address is 20 bytes rather than 8 bytes. With the current 8 byte
address, it is not possible to send ARPs and RARPs from userspace as the
broadcast and unicast IPoIB addresses cannot be supplied properly.
There is backward compatibility support for those applications built
with the existing structure (prior to this patch).
