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.
