Might be niticking but generally I'd consider splitting
exports as commits of their own.

-static bool
+bool

into a separate commit?

I guess it makes sense for people whose salary depends on
number of commits.
We don't play these games.

What kind of argument is that anyway.

"Separate each *logical change* into a separate patch." [*]

The logical change, as per the patch subject, is allowing the
possibility of including eBPF dynamic pointers in a kfunc definition.
It requires to call an existing function that was already defined
elsewhere.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't see only exporting a function definition
to an include file as a logical change. To me, the changes in this
patch are clearly connected. Or even better, they tell why the function
definition has been exported, that would not appear if moving the
function definition is a standalone patch.


To add, generally any user space visible space should be an
isolated patch.

As far as I understood, definitions visible to user space should be in
include/uapi.

It does change e.g. the output of kallsyms.

It's not ABI but it's still user space visble.



Please, stop posting nonsense.

If I may, saying this does not encourage people to try to submit their
code. I feel it is a bit strong, and I kindly ask you to express your
opinion in a more gentle way.

I agree. That's why I was wondering what is this nonsense
about salary and games.

Please denote that I started my review with "Might be nitpicking...".

It's neither particularly disencouraging nor enforcing for anyone.

Thanks for clarifying. Yes, it is not. Sorry, I misunderstood.
