Hello Ingo,

Please pull these patches. Earlier I also floated these patches so that I can get some feedback.

Sam, Andrew, David, what's your workflow preference for these bits?

While they are oneliners and i could create a separate branch for these 
and pull Jaswinder's tree (and do build coverage to make sure there's no 
surprised on any arch), it's really up to the maintainers of these files 
to decide on the workflow.

I'd lean towards doing this via the individual maintainers and/or -mm, but 
no strong feelings ...

Even if it's done via a separate tree at minimum it needs the acks from 
the affected maintainers.

I'm fine with these changes and you can take them in via your
tree.

May I please remind you of my comment in
http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/2093/?

At least nubus.h still leaks forward declarations for kernel functions that
lack the "extern" keyword, so they still pollute user space.

Yes, you are right, I just tried to pampered weeping warning messages
which is annoying.

In this subset, I just try to fix 77 such warnings.

nubus.h still have such warnings and other fixes required which you
are pointing so I am expecting nubus people will solve such problems.

Thanks

Hi Jaswinder.

I appreciate your work but I will like to question the approach.
We should rather take the warnings as an indication that this
file needs to be looked over and fix not only the warnings
reported but rater to fix all the questionable issues on a file-by-file basis.
If the patch gets involved then it should be split in two.

Could I ask you to at least consider this approach.

Thanks,
	Sam

As they are one-liners for the most part I am fine with you handling
them in a eparate branch.

It is far better than I queue them up for at least two weeks before I
can give the kernel a bit of attention again.

Obviously it would be better if the Maintainers took them but history
tells us we cannot rely on that for all areas.

Hi Sam,

i would split them up:

One big single patch only for this

-#include <asm/types.h>
+#include <linux/types.h>

and this

+#include <linux/types.h>

which is trivial.

And all the other stuff should additionally go through the maintainers hands (at least).

My approach was:
"PATCH should solve a problem per file", like:
 capability.h: extern's make no sense in userspace
 coda_psdev.h: extern's make no sense in userspace
 in6.h: extern's make no sense in userspace
 nubus.h: extern's make no sense in userspace
 socket.h: extern's make no sense in userspace

But this warnings was in many files:
 include of <linux/types.h> is preferred over <asm/types.h> : 15 files
 found __[us]{8,16,32,64} type without #include <linux/types.h> : 52 files

So in place of making 15 + 52 = 67 patches, I made 2 patches for each warning.

Should I make 67 patches ?

No.

What Sam means is that the warnings about externs not making sense in userspace
are indicators that there may be other external declarations (without "extern")
in those files, and that you should fix those at the same time (i.e. either
don't fix any of them, or fix all of them (in the same file)). If you don't
fix them at the same time, people tend to forget about them.

So the warnings are just considered canaries in our coal mine. Killing only the
canaries doesn't help.

If this is the case, then drop extern patches and let maintainers of
those files should handle them then they will not forget and never
repeat this mistake again.

Correct. We should use the warnings to tell us that there may be something
fishy here and fix it all.
I've used checkpatch in the same way occasionally. If I had to do some
cleanup and checkpatch was a bit noisy I went through the file
_manually_. And when finished I ran chackpatch again and fixed up the
warnings/errors that made sense for me to fix and that I forgot when I refactored
the code.

So when I see "capability.h: extern's make no sense in userspace"
the perfect approach would be that the whole file was checked.

This is a much bigger task that just removing the warning.

(All this said I have sometimes doen the "remove warnings only trick too").

i dont think maintainers are bad at doing this - the problem and overhead 
is on the submission side: the logistics of spreading dozens of very small 
commits out to dozens of maintainers - each of who prefers a different 
submission channel.

We have no automation for that (to make sure there's guaranteed progress 
and to make sure there's no lost patch) and hence it's simply neither 
efficient nor reliable to do it.

These particular commits seem rather uncontroversial - and they are not 
part of some bigger facility so they are individually revertable as well. 
Worst-case they break the build somewhere or cause a raised maintainer 
eyebrow - we'll try to make sure that no such thing happens on a larger 
scale.

The problem is, you just littered the kernel with a ton of warnings and 
declared that fixing them is a 'much bigger task'.

It's not good to start projects like this, because they simply never 
finish. It's _much_ better to first reach a zero baseline via minimal 
fixes, then enforce 'look at the whole thing' for all _NEW_ files and 
changes.

That's how we are using checkpatch in the -tip topics, and it's working 
very nicely.

Could we please start it like that?

I would have done such have I had more time to do this stuff.
Real life just hit me after vacation finished and deadline approaching.

I can disable the warnings around -rc7 if we think they are too noisy
when we release the next kernel.

I will like to question the approach how you get this number '-rc7'

Do you think people can bear this noise till -rc7 or they will solve
all these warnings before -rc7

they are perfectly fine i think, lets just not do the full approach now 
and reach a zero baseline first. Then perfectionism can start again, at a 
much more manageable flux.

the noise is not bearable, it hides a lot of real bugs. We should do the 
fixes you posted and get them to Linus.

btw., could you please put them into your Git tree and post a pull 
request, so that i can check how many warnings there are left?

Patches are still in my git tree and I also cross checked that they
are mergeable with your latest -tip.

The following changes since commit ae2659bcd0b5bf34dd4b03f1db0a2942cc09b8e6:
 Ingo Molnar (1):
       Merge branch 'x86/mm'

are available in the git repository at:

 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jaswinder/linux-2.6-tiptop.git
master

Jaswinder Singh Rajput (7):
     include of <linux/types.h> is preferred over <asm/types.h>
     found __[us]{8,16,32,64} type without #include <linux/types.h>
     capability.h: extern's make no sense in userspace
     coda_psdev.h: extern's make no sense in userspace
     in6.h: extern's make no sense in userspace
     nubus.h: extern's make no sense in userspace
     socket.h: extern's make no sense in userspace

Thanks
