while i'm here, some pedantry ... what is the point of adding a header file somewhere under include/uapi/<somedir> without *immediately* adding it to the Kbuild file so that it's exported?
I don't know the answer to that. But having done this once, I can answer why *I* did it: Ignorance.
I didn't realize that I had to update the Kbuild file, but wrongly assumed that creating a file somewhere in include/uapi was enough. Maybe that's the reason for most of these errors? Some automatic check, or maybe even automatic fix, would be nice. Should be pretty easy to do.
unless there really is some reason to not do those two things at the same time, but for the life of me, i can't imagine what it is. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
