Believe me I hate forward declarations just as much as you do. Either this function or then l2cap_recv_frame must be forward declared unless you want to move the following functions further down in l2cap_core.c: l2cap_conn_add() l2cap_chan_connect() l2cap_connect_cfm() The last two depend on l2cap_conn_add() which in turn depends on process_pending_rx(). It's a fairly simple patch looking like this (two more lines removed because the stat includes removing the forward declatiation - I'd of course order the patches the other way around when I send them): net/bluetooth/l2cap_core.c | 430 ++++++++++++++++++++-------------------- 1 file changed, 214 insertions(+), 216 deletions(-) Doing this however means e.g. that l2cap_connect_cfm() isn't any more grouped in the same place as connect_ind() and the other callbacks. So I'm not sure if you wanna move those also downwards (making the patch bigger), not worry about it, or just stick to the forward declaration.

I get the feeling we should change all of these. Sure, I'll send patches for those at some point.
