That's one of the reasons why typedefs are bad.
Use `struct kmem_cache' instead of `kmem_cache_t' and lo, you can forward-declare it in the header file without having to include slab.h.
Patches which rid us of kmem_cache_t are always welcome.. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
