From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Russell King - ARM Linux Subject: [PATCH RFC] net: dsa: remove unnecessary phy.h include Date: Wed, 18 Jan 2017 00:14:03 +0000 Message-ID: <20170118001403.GJ27312@n2100.armlinux.org.uk> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Cc: Florian Fainelli , "David S. Miller" , netdev@vger.kernel.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org To: Andrew Lunn , Vivien Didelot Return-path: Content-Disposition: inline Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: netdev.vger.kernel.org Including phy.h and phy_fixed.h into net/dsa.h causes phy*.h to be an unnecessary dependency for quite a large amount of the kernel. There's very little which actually requires definitions from phy.h in net/dsa.h - the include itself only wants the declaration of a couple of structures and IFNAMSIZ. Add linux/if.h for IFNAMSIZ, declarations for the structures, phy.h to mv88e6xxx.h as it needs it for phy_interface_t, and remove both phy.h and phy_fixed.h from net/dsa.h. This patch reduces from around 800 files rebuilt to around 40 - even with ccache, the time difference is noticable. Signed-off-by: Russell King --- I noticed when I touched linux/phy.h that a lot of the kernel ended up being unexpectedly rebuilt, as linux/netdevice.h includes net/dsa.h, which then then includes linux/phy.h. I've tested this change on both ARM and ARM64, but I'd suggest letting the 0-day builder have a bite at this, and then only taking it if everyone is confident that there's a slim chance of any problems. Also, it may need some rework to apply to davem's tree. All of the above makes this RFC only. drivers/net/dsa/mv88e6xxx/mv88e6xxx.h | 1 + include/net/dsa.h | 6 ++++-- 2 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/dsa/mv88e6xxx/mv88e6xxx.h b/drivers/net/dsa/mv88e6xxx/mv88e6xxx.h index a319c06d82e3..d247b0639ed4 100644 --- a/drivers/net/dsa/mv88e6xxx/mv88e6xxx.h +++ b/drivers/net/dsa/mv88e6xxx/mv88e6xxx.h @@ -15,6 +15,7 @@ #include #include #include +#include #ifndef UINT64_MAX #define UINT64_MAX (u64)(~((u64)0)) diff --git a/include/net/dsa.h b/include/net/dsa.h index b122196d5a1f..887b2f98f9ea 100644 --- a/include/net/dsa.h +++ b/include/net/dsa.h @@ -11,15 +11,17 @@ #ifndef __LINUX_NET_DSA_H #define __LINUX_NET_DSA_H +#include #include #include #include #include #include -#include -#include #include +struct phy_device; +struct fixed_phy_status; + enum dsa_tag_protocol { DSA_TAG_PROTO_NONE = 0, DSA_TAG_PROTO_DSA, -- RMK's Patch system: http://www.armlinux.org.uk/developer/patches/ FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line: currently at 9.6Mbps down 400kbps up according to speedtest.net.
