Subject: Re: [PATCH] kbuild: uapi: Drop types.h check from headers_check.pl

Oct 24, 2025 01:51:49 Nathan Chancellor <nathan@...nel.org>:

> Since commit d6fc9fcbaa65 ("kbuild: compile-test exported headers to
> ensure they are self-contained"), the UAPI headers are compile tested
> standalone with the compiler. This compile testing will catch a missing
> include of types.h, making the types.h checking in headers_check.pl
> originally added in commit 483b41218fa9 ("kbuild: add checks for include
> of linux/types in userspace headers") obsolete.
