We already include slab.h in:
host_pci.c
scan.c
sprom.c

Maybe we can just include this in bcma.h as a better solution? We
could drop other includes then.
Can you submit patch for this?

If bcma.h doesn't use linux/slab.h, IMHO it should not include linux/slab.h.

I guess you want to avoid auto(chain)-including linux/slab.h by bcma
drivers? OK, just use bcma_private.h instead.

It isn't better solution.
It results in situation where unnecessary inclusion will be done.
Maybe it's not the case now, but it will be in future.

Scanning code is required for every BCMA board, so we already include
linux/slab.h on every configuration. No matter if this is PCI host
board, or SoC, or whatever we will support in the future.
Now we discovered this is also needed in main.c, which will be always compiled.

That's why I think it's safe to include linux/slab.h in bcma_private.h.
But if that's just my opinion, everybody think it's wrong idea, I'm OK with it.

My rule of thumb is: Header file a.h may only include header b.h when 
a.h needs some definition from b.h. Convenience is never a good reason 
for nested includes.

Yeah, good rule. Consider if you have a.h, b.h and z.c, z.c needs b.h
but not a.h, and now b.h includes a.h ("for convenience") -- changing
a.h would needlessly recompile z.c. Now, changing slab.h will probably
recompile everything anyway, but still...

In my configuration after touching slab.h and recompilation:

$ find -name '*.o' -newer ../linux3/include/linux/slab.h |wc -l
1508
$ find -name '*.o' |wc -l
1928

78% object files were recompiled, 22% were no recompiled.  Careful use 
of includes does save time.

I agree.  kfree() is used in main.c, not in bcma.h.  There is no need 
for all files that include bcma.h to include linux/slab.h, especially 
(but not only) because bcma.h is not a private header.

You ignore the fact I clarified my idea to use bcma_private.h instead of bcma.h.

One day A Cleaner will remove it again, seeing bcma_private.h doesn't
use any slab
interface, and it still seems to compile on his platform of choice
(which implicitly
pulls in slab.h).

If it's put in main.c, The Cleaner will notice main.c uses kfree(),
and won't touch it.

A Cleaner should review all files that use bcma_private.h and notice kfree() ;)

But as I said, I don't really argue.

John, if that's OK for you, please take it.

If this is not manual mistake, you may want to fix your script or
