Hi Yonghong,

Thank you very much for your reply.
You are right, this patch is meaningless.

I find this build error when make M=samples/bpf after make clean,
so the ./arch/mips/include/generated/asm/rwonce.h is not exist.

After rebuild the kernel, this header file can be found when make
M=samples/bpf due to samples/bpf/Makefile contains $LINUXINCLUDE.

$ find . -name rwonce.h
./include/asm-generic/rwonce.h
./arch/arm64/include/asm/rwonce.h
./arch/mips/include/generated/asm/rwonce.h
./arch/alpha/include/asm/rwonce.h
$ cat ./arch/mips/include/generated/asm/rwonce.h
#include <asm-generic/rwonce.h>


Hi Sergei and kernel test robot,

Thank you for your suggestion and report,
please ignore this patch, sorry for the noise.

Thanks,
Tiezhu
