Subject: [PATCH 00/20] backports: add missing backport-include header definitions
Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2026 15:38:24 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260624073844.2097504-1-cong.yi@linux.dev> (raw)
From: Yi Cong <yicong@kylinos.cn>
This series adds a number of backport-include header definitions that
are currently missing from the backports tree. These are the small
compatibility shims needed so that backported drivers can reference
kernel APIs that were added in newer kernels.
The patches only add new definitions (new headers, or new wrappers
appended to existing ones); none of them modify or remove existing
backport code. Each definition is guarded with the usual
LINUX_VERSION_IS_LESS()/LINUX_VERSION_IN_RANGE() checks so it takes
effect only on kernels where the native definition is absent, and the
wrappers follow the upstream calling convention.
This is the first batch of a larger set of changes; the remaining
patches (which modify existing backport code and patches) will be sent
separately once this batch is reviewed.
Yi Cong (20):
headers: Add timer_shutdown_sync()
headers: include linux/module.h from backport.h
headers: add kstrtox.h backport
headers: add get_random_u32_inclusive() for kernels < 6.2
