Subject: [PATCH] include linux/stddef.h in swab.h uapi header
Date: Wed, 12 Sep 2018 17:56:54 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180913005654.39976-1-raj.khem@gmail.com> (raw)

swab.h uses __always_inline without including the header where it is
defined, this is exposed by musl based distributions where this macro is
not defined by system C library headers unlike glibc where it is defined
in sys/cdefs.h and that header gets pulled in indirectly via

features.h -> sys/cdefs.h

and features.h gets pulled in a lot of headers. Therefore it may work in
cases where features.h is includes but not otherwise.

Adding linux/stddef.h here ensures that __always_inline is always
defined independent of which C library is used in userspace
