[PATCH 0/8] gpio: wean gpio/driver.h off of module.h

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

 



Most shared headers in include/linux don't need to know what the
internals of a struct module are; all they care about is that it
is a struct and hence they may require a pointer to one.

The advantage in this is that module.h is including a lot of stuff
itself, and an otherwise empty C file that just contains module.h
will result in ~750kB from CPP (compared to say 12kB from init.h)

So we have approximately 50 instances of "struct module;" in the
various include/linux headers already that help us keep module.h
out of other headers; here we do the same for gpio.

But before we do, we fix up seven instances of code that were
implicitly relying on this module.h so that we don't introduce
build failures into the git history.

Some are tristate, so we just explicitly add module.h to them.
The others are non-modular, so we just prune them off of the module
based macros, so that module.h is no longer required to compile.

This series built on top of linux-next for arm, arm64, i386, x86_64
without any issues (allmodconfig).
