[PATCH] romfs: have romfs_fs.h pull in necessary headers

[PATCH] romfs: have romfs_fs.h pull in necessary headers

[Mike Frysinger]

This header uses things like __be32, so pull in linux/types.h.

Further, it uses BLOCK_SIZE, so pull in linux/fs.h.

Better changelogs please.

Does this fix any build error?  If so, is that build error present in
2.6.36 or earlier?

headers should include the headers that define types/things that the
header itself needs

I take that to mean "no" and "no", hence the fix is not needed in
2.6.37 and is not needed in -stable.

Thanks for being so helpful.

it's been broken for years, so people have long worked around it.  the
history is clear that there is no regression.  but headers should be
correct unto themselves.
