Commit1f5307b1e0("mm, vmalloc: properly track vmalloc users") has pulled asm/pgtable.h include dependency to linux/vmalloc.h and that turned out to be a bad idea for some architectures. E.g. m68k fails with In file included from arch/m68k/include/asm/pgtable_mm.h:145:0, from arch/m68k/include/asm/pgtable.h:4, from include/linux/vmalloc.h:9, from arch/m68k/kernel/module.c:9: arch/m68k/include/asm/mcf_pgtable.h: In function 'nocache_page': >> arch/m68k/include/asm/mcf_pgtable.h:339:43: error: 'init_mm' undeclared (first use in this function) #define pgd_offset_k(address) pgd_offset(&init_mm, address) as spotted by kernel build bot. nios2 fails for other reason In file included from include/asm-generic/io.h:767:0, from arch/nios2/include/asm/io.h:61, from include/linux/io.h:25, from arch/nios2/include/asm/pgtable.h:18, from include/linux/mm.h:70, from include/linux/pid_namespace.h:6, from include/linux/ptrace.h:9, from arch/nios2/include/uapi/asm/elf.h:23, from arch/nios2/include/asm/elf.h:22, from include/linux/elf.h:4, from include/linux/module.h:15, from init/main.c:16: include/linux/vmalloc.h: In function '__vmalloc_node_flags': include/linux/vmalloc.h:99:40: error: 'PAGE_KERNEL' undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean 'GFP_KERNEL'? which is due to the newly added #include <asm/pgtable.h>, which on nios2 includes <linux/io.h> and thus <asm/io.h> and <asm-generic/io.h> which again includes <linux/vmalloc.h>. Tweaking that around just turns out a bigger headache than necessary. This patch reverts1f5307b1e0and reimplements the original fix in a different way. __vmalloc_node_flags can stay static inline which will cover vmalloc* functions. We only have one external user (kvmalloc_node) and we can export __vmalloc_node_flags_caller and provide the caller directly. This is much simpler and it doesn't really need any games with header files.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
