[PATCH v1] kernel.h: Split out min()/max() et al. helpers

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



kernel.h is being used as a dump for all kinds of stuff for a long time.
Here is the attempt to start cleaning it up by splitting out min()/max()
et al. helpers.

At the same time convert users in header and lib folder to use new header.
Though for time being include new header back to kernel.h to avoid twisted
indirected includes for other existing users.

Signed-off-by: Andy Shevchenko <andriy.shevchenko@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
---

This header being standalone makes possible to avoid unnecessary inclusion of
kernel.h and its content to many places which would like to use min()/max()
helpers and/or related without being poisoned like [1].

I heard earlier opinions about this, like [2] or [3] and would like to see if
this is a way to go.

I have Cc'ed parties gathered from all previous submissions of this + Linus.
