sorry for the fixation, i just want to really understand what's happening here. first, here's an example of a header file that seems odd -- include/linux/xz.h: ... snip ... #ifdef __KERNEL__ # include <linux/stddef.h> # include <linux/types.h> #else # include <stddef.h> # include <stdint.h> #endif ... snip ... that certainly seems like a candidate for uapi refactoring, yet it doesn't appear in any uapi/ directory, and it isn't collected for userspace export by "make headers_install". so what's happening here? also, i'm assuming that references to all of the new uapi/ directories will be eventually added to the MAINTAINERS file? ok, i'll shut up now. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
