| |
Hi,
Having discovered some circular include dependencies in the ARM header files which were causing build issues, I created a script to walk ARM includes and report any similar issues found - which includes traversing any referenced linux/ includes.
It identified the following two in include/linux/:
linux/mmzone.h <- linux/memory_hotplug.h <- linux/mmzone.h linux/mmzone.h <- linux/topology.h <- linux/mmzone.h
Checking them by hand reveals that these are real. Whether they're capable of causing a problem or not, I'm not going to comment on. However, they're not a good idea and someone should probably look at resolving the loops.
