Dear friends,
I am wondering definition of the the struct sk_buff differs in 2.6.18 & 2.6.33 kernel. The structure is defined in below file

The defination of structure in 2.6.18 kernel
Code:
struct sk_buff {
/* These two members must be first. */
struct sk_buff *next;
struct sk_buff *prev;
struct sock *sk;
struct skb_timeval tstamp;
struct net_device *dev;
struct net_device *input_dev;
union {
struct tcphdr *th;
struct udphdr *uh;
struct icmphdr *icmph;
struct igmphdr *igmph;
struct iphdr *ipiph;
struct ipv6hdr *ipv6h;
unsigned char *raw;
} h;
union {
struct iphdr *iph;
struct ipv6hdr *ipv6h;
struct arphdr *arph;
unsigned char *raw;
} nh;
union {
unsigned char *raw;
} mac;
struct dst_entry *dst;
struct sec_path *sp;
/*

The change is of course for up-gradation purpose, but I dont understand wy we aren't facing compatibility issues ?
