bionic/libc/include/sys/epoll.h:67:8: error: redefinition of 'epoll_event'

Question

I am getting the following exception while building the ROM for a lineageos project and need some help diagnosing and resolving the issue:

In file included from device/lenovo/tb8504f/camera/QCamera2/util/QCameraDisplay.cpp:53:

I fixed this by borrowing code from a different kernel version that includes the following check

#ifdef __KERNEL__

Full snippet below:

#ifdef __KERNEL__
struct epoll_event {
struct epoll_event {
    __u32 events;
    __u32 events;
    __u64 data;
    __u64 data;
@@ -73,4 +74,5 @@ static inline void ep_take_care_of_epollwakeup(struct epoll_event *epev)
    epev->events &= ~EPOLLWAKEUP;
    epev->events &= ~EPOLLWAKEUP;
}
}
#endif
#endif
#endif /* __KERNEL__ */
