Subject: [PATCH v3 3/4] kernel.h: move VERIFY_OCTAL_PERMISSIONS() to sysfs.h
Date: Fri, 5 Dec 2025 12:52:34 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251205175237.242022-4-yury.norov@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251205175237.242022-1-yury.norov@gmail.com>
The macro is related to sysfs, but is defined in kernel.h. Move it to
the proper header, and unload the generic kernel.h.
Now that the macro is removed from kernel.h, linux/moduleparam.h is
decoupled, and kernel.h inclusion can be removed.
