In Linux 4.5, when CONFIG_NET_CLS_ACT is defined, compilation of out of tree modules breaks with undeclared functions/constants. The culprit is:
commit fdc5432a7b44ab7de17141beec19d946b9344e91 Author: Daniel Borkmann <dan...@iogearbox.net> Date: Thu Jan 7 15:50:22 2016 +0100 net, sched: add skb_at_tc_ingress helper which uses G_TC_AT and AT_INGRESS but only includes linux/pkt_cls.h, which does not include these #defines for oot builds. Unfortunately I'm not sure what the correct fix is, maybe the uapi folks could help, but i attached a simple testcase and build log (Makefile is straight from kernelnewbies).
