+Subject: [PATCH] Use API function for reconnect
+
+For configuring reconnect functionality use standard API function
+MYSQL_OPT_RECONNECT instead of direct modification of internal structures
+which does not work for MariaDB. Fixes compilation with MariaDB 10.2.6+.
+
+Upstream-Status: Backport [https://github.com/perl5-dbi/DBD-mysql/commit/0b1884f4153d3de0a91bae4d3b3cc1771ffdf4f3]
