Subject: [PATCH v4 1/2] rust: move EXPORT_SYMBOL_RUST_GPL to include/linux/export.h
Date: Tue, 3 Nov 2026 16:58:32 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261103165833.418845-2-gprocida@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CAGvU0Hm04LXTywU0eL6KN4=SoOAC+LU3BKqENnLR-WV-sHsuNA@mail.gmail.com>
Move identical definitions of `EXPORT_SYMBOL_RUST_GPL` to
`include/linux/export.h` from:
- `rust/exports.c`
- `drivers/gpu/nova-core/nova_core_exports.c`
Both files already include `<linux/export.h>`.
Update `scripts/misc-check` to recognize `EXPORT_SYMBOL_RUST_GPL()` and
reference it in `nova_core_exports.c`'s header comment so `W=2` builds
do not warn about an unused `<linux/export.h>` include.
Signed-off-by: Giuliano Procida <gprocida@google.com>
