For instance, in arch/arm/include/asm/word-at-a-time.h case this should become: #include <linux/bitops.h> #include <linux/wordpart.h> (Briefly looking the same is for include/asm-generic/word-at-a-time.h) And so on... ... > --- a/include/linux/kernel.h > +++ b/include/linux/kernel.h > @@ -39,13 +39,6 @@ > -/** > - * REPEAT_BYTE - repeat the value @x multiple times as an unsigned long value > - * @x: value to repeat > - * > - * NOTE: @x is not checked for > 0xff; larger values produce odd results. > - */ > -#define REPEAT_BYTE(x) ((~0ul / 0xff) * (x)) Okay, we don't back include because we changing all the users at once. ... > +++ b/include/linux/wordpart.h > @@ -0,0 +1,17 @@ > +/* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 */ > +/* > + * Copyright (C) 2023 Google LLC <[email protected]> > + */ Can be on a single line. Is it? Personally I skip this from the split headers, but I'm not your lawyer. -- With Best Regards, Andy Shevchenko
