Subject: should new kfifo implementation really be exporting that much?


  just curious about how much is being exported from kfifo.c:

$ grep EXPORT_SYMBOL kernel/kfifo.c
EXPORT_SYMBOL(kfifo_init);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(kfifo_alloc);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(kfifo_free);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(kfifo_skip);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(__kfifo_in_n);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(kfifo_in);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(__kfifo_in_generic);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(__kfifo_out_n);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(kfifo_out);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(kfifo_out_peek);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(__kfifo_out_generic);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(__kfifo_from_user_n);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(kfifo_from_user);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(__kfifo_from_user_generic);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(__kfifo_to_user_n);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(kfifo_to_user);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(__kfifo_to_user_generic);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(__kfifo_peek_generic);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(__kfifo_skip_generic);
$

  there's a lot there that looks like it should be static, no?  or is
all of that *meant* to be part of the public kfifo API?
