Subject: [PATCH v2 4/4] scripts/misc-check: check unnecessary #include <linux/export.h> when W=1
Date: Sun,  1 Jun 2025 22:31:30 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250601133230.4085512-4-masahiroy@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250601133230.4085512-1-masahiroy@kernel.org>

Another issue with <linux/export.h> is that it is sometimes included
even when EXPORT_SYMBOL() is not used at all.

Some headers (e.g. include/linux/linkage.h>) cannot be fixed for now
for the reason described in the previous commit.

This commit adds a warning for *.c files that include <linux/export.h>
but do not use EXPORT_SYMBOL() when the kernel is built with W=1.
