Well, here's the change to asm/pgtable.h in that patch: diff --git a/arch/arm/include/asm/pgtable.h b/arch/arm/include/asm/pgtable.h index 9bcd262..eaedce7 100644 --- a/arch/arm/include/asm/pgtable.h +++ b/arch/arm/include/asm/pgtable.h @@ -24,6 +24,9 @@ #include <asm/memory.h> #include <asm/pgtable-hwdef.h> + +#include <asm/tlbflush.h> + #ifdef CONFIG_ARM_LPAE #include <asm/pgtable-3level.h> #else And the question is - if that's all that is going on in that file, why is asm/tlbflush.h being added to it? What in _that_ file uses anything from asm/tlbflush.h (nothing apparantly from what I can see)? So, I'm tempted to kill this change off unless someone can justify why that addition happened - it looks completely inappropriate to me. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
