[PATCH] mm: include swap.h in swapops.h

[PATCH] mm: include swap.h in swapops.h

[Kiryl Shutsemau]

From: "Kiryl Shutsemau (Meta)" <kas@kernel.org>

swapops.h uses MAX_SWAPFILES_SHIFT, SWP_MIGRATION_READ and SWP_PTE_MARKER,
all of which swap.h defines, but does not include swap.h.  It compiles only
where the translation unit pulled swap.h in first.  leafops.h includes
swapops.h on the line above swap.h, so a file whose include list reaches
leafops.h before swap.h gets:

    In file included from include/linux/leafops.h:11:
    include/linux/swapops.h:88:21: error: use of undeclared
    identifier 'MAX_SWAPFILES_SHIFT'

A header that uses a definition has to include the header that provides it.

Basically, is this preparing for the patchset below?

My patchset just triggered inert bug.

Ah C headers are terrible :)

I see that the common pattern is:

#include <swap.h>
#include <swapops.h>

Which is already itself quite horrible, though I suppose intent was to
separate out stuff between the two and to not require that people take
swapops.h necessarily.

Anyway swapops.h needs to be removed, it's a left-over from the
not-quite-fully-complete softleaf work (I left some of the swap
entry-specific stuff alone).

But when that's done by me or whoever else, the resolution should be that
swapops.h is deleted with everything there that needs to be kept around
moved -> leafops since swap entries are just another softleaf type.

Anyway I can fix the broader issue when I get rid of swapops.h, so this
LGTM as a resolution for the time being and:

Yeah, see my reply, but this is more like 'Lorenzo's unfinished work and a
mistake in his includes' :)
