Subject: [PATCH 6.12.y 1/3] kernel.h: move READ/WRITE definitions to <linux/types.h>
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 08:00:35 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261110125947.1497852-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261107051756-failed-6.12-56c1d32323e7@kernel.org>
From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
[ Upstream commit 4ef5211ee68113070bd42142f06347866675055e ]
Patch series "kernel.h: Move out a couple of macros and constants".
kernel.h hosts a couple of macros and constants that may be better placed.
Do that. Also add missing documentation. No functional changes
intended.
This patch (of 2):
Headers shouldn't be forced to include <linux/kernel.h> just to
gain these simple constants.
