Hi,
What makes you say that some of these are unnecessary?

Please use Rule #1 from Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst:

1) If you use a facility then #include the file that defines/declares
  that facility.  Don't depend on other header files pulling in ones
  that you use.


so just because it will compile without these headers being explictly
#included does not mean that you should remove them.

Thanks for the clarification. I tried to follow this rule already pointed out by Jason, but of course I missed the __init and __exit macros...

I'll check better for the next version!

v3:
- avoided to remove some headers with structures and functions directly
  used (device.h, slab.h, virtio_byteorder.h)[Jason]

-#include <linux/init.h>

above is used by __init and __exit.

 #include <linux/module.h>
 #include <linux/device.h>
-#include <linux/kernel.h>
-#include <linux/fs.h>
-#include <linux/poll.h>

Looks OK to remove poll.h.

 #include <linux/slab.h>
-#include <linux/sched.h>

Might be OK for sched.h.

-#include <linux/wait.h>

Might be OK for wait.h.

-#include <linux/uuid.h>
-#include <linux/iommu.h>
 #include <linux/dma-map-ops.h>
-#include <linux/sysfs.h>
-#include <linux/file.h>
 #include <linux/etherdevice.h>
 #include <linux/vringh.h>
 #include <linux/vdpa.h>


I didn't check the others.


Thanks,
Stefano
