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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
