Acutallly, I'm reverting this, it breaks the build all over the place. The problem is that it seems that somehow we are getting an implicit module.h include via phy.h and this propagates all over the tree. So I get failures like: net/core/netprio_cgroup.c:303:16: error: expected declaration specifiers or ¡...¢ before string constant MODULE_LICENSE("GPL v2"); ... net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/svc_rdma_backchannel.c: In function ¡xprt_rdma_bc_put¢: net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/svc_rdma_backchannel.c:277:2: error: implicit declaration of function ¡module_put¢ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] module_put(THIS_MODULE); ^ net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/svc_rdma_backchannel.c: In function ¡xprt_setup_rdma_bc¢: net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/svc_rdma_backchannel.c:348:7: error: implicit declaration of function ¡try_module_get¢ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] if (!try_module_get(THIS_MODULE)) Please resubmit this after you can successfully complete an allmodconfig build. Thanks.
