Re: [PATCH V2 1/2] asm-offsets.c: adding #define to break circular dependency

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I'm not sure the tangle is so easily undone.  The first dependency I see is

asm-offsets.c
asm/processors.h
linux/cpumask.h
linux/kernel.h
linux/bitops.h
asm/bitops.h
linux/irqflags.h
asm/irqflags.h

When compared to other architectures, the MIPS asm/bitops.h seems to
include more files at the top, including linux/irqflags.h.
Any suggestions?
