Make a common header:

struct tt_entry_common { u8 addr[ETH_ALEN]; struct hlist_node hash_entry; };

Then use that at the beginning of both structures:

struct tt_local_entry { struct tt_entry_common common; unsigned long last_seen; ... };

struct tt_global_entry { struct tt_entry_comomn common; struct orig_node *orig_node; ... };

And &p->common is what gets passed into tt_response_fill_table().

Thanks for the pull. This is exactly the long term solution we want to submit later to net-next. But we also wanted to keep the patch as small as possible for stable@kernel.org

Thanks, Sven
