Did you test it?


Yes, pretty sure we do it basically all the time. We don't have kernels
that new yet in most of our test setups.

     Because that should be logically identical to what I tried if I read this file properly:

Actually, your version might be more correct than ours ...

I dunno. I note we also have an <linux/rfkill.h> include in cfg80211.h,
but that should be there upstream too, so not sure.

There are a lot of rfkill.h files, what logic makes the backports code include the specific
backport/backport-include/linux/rfkill.h file?  I suspect that isn't working for the cfg80211.h
file for whatever reason.

It's just an additional -I flag on the compiler command line, or -
isystem or something like that.

my cfg80211.h shows this line:

#include <uapi/linux/rfkill.h>

Not a later <linux/rfkill.h> line? We have one like that in our version
...

I guess we should really only have the <linux/rfkill.h> one, but since
we want the function declaration, we really ought to have that?

This is from Linus' 5.13 tree.  My grep sucks, but gets the job done.

[greearb@ben-dt4 configs]$ grep rfkill\.h ~/git/linux-2.6/include/net/cfg80211.h
#include <uapi/linux/rfkill.h>
 *	functions to adjust rfkill hw state
 * @reason: one of reasons in &enum rfkill_hard_block_reasons
				      enum rfkill_hard_block_reasons reason);


Is 'your version' of the kernel public somewhere?

I can try changing the cfg80211.h in the upstream kernel that I am generating the backports
package from, but that will not help anyone else trying to create a backports package from a stock 5.13
kernel...

Thanks,
Ben
