When kernel.h is used in the headers it adds a lot into dependency hell,

Replace kernel.h inclusion with the list of what is really being used.

This is not sufficient.  For example, asmlinkage isn't explicitly
defined by any of these header files so it would be relying on an
implicit inclusion which is prone to breakage.

Agreed, I missed that.


Did you audit the entire file?

Yes, but I missed the asmlinkage.

In fact, I've sent a few "obvious" (but nothing is never obvious at the end...) patches like that to see the interest.

I've spotted a few .h file with "easy to check" content.
Mostly #define, function declarations, a few u<something> datatypes.

Then, I made the #include simplification and compile tested the change.

If it worked, I consider that the patch looks fine.


In this particular case, I guess that the 'asmlinkage' should come from another #include when "camellia.h" is used.

My goal was not to introduce some new hidden constraints related to the order of the included .h. I just wanted to make them explicit (and complete) and start to simplify things.


As said, nothing is never obvious, and I'll stay away from this kind of changes :)


Thanks a lot for the review.
