Public bug reported:
[Impact]
After applying the compatibility changes to support kernel 5.8 we broke
kernel 5.4 in the process. The change that causes the breakage is the
redefinition of `struct timeval`, that is not needed in 5.4, because
it's already defined.
[Test case]
$ sudo apt install iptables-netflow-dkms
Build error(s) is(are) reported in make.log.
[Fix]
Make sure `struct timeval` is defined in iptables-netflow-dkms only with
kernels >= 5.8.
[Regression potential]
Change verified both with 5.4 and 5.8 kernel. The only thing that could
break is using this module with some kernels >= 5.8 that (somehow) have
`struct timeval` already defined in their headers. For now, with the
kernels that we support, this case is unlikely to happen.
