Message-Id: <20071224.220527.254578945.davem@davemloft.net> Date: Mon, 24 Dec 2007 22:05:27 -0800 (PST) From: David Miller <davem@...emloft.net> To: stephen.hemminger@...tta.com Cc: vgusev@...nvz.org, netdev@...r.kernel.org Subject: Re: [PATCH] net: santize headers for iproute2 From: Stephen Hemminger <stephen.hemminger@...tta.com> Date: Fri, 21 Dec 2007 09:43:36 -0800 > iproute2 source uses headers that result from "make headers_install". > The header files net/tcp_states.h and net/veth.h are both being used > but are not processed. > > Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <stephen.hemminger@...tta.com> The convention is to place user visible interfaces in header files under include/linux/ and purely kernel internal bits in header files under include/net/ Therefore exporting net/*.h headers is not right. net/veth.h only defines user visible interfaces, so it belongs under include/linux and added to include/linux/Kbuild, and I would happily take a patch implementing that. net/tcp_states.h is not movable to include/linux/ and thus to userspace, it defines things that are present already in existing userland header files. If you look, <netinet/tcp.h> defines these state values, as an enumeration. If you need the TCPF_* flag bit versions, sorry... you'll need to find some other way to get those into userspace. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
