Hi Luis, Christoph, Daniel, Is this patch ok or would you rather another iteration of the series? Either way is fine for me. Thanks.Another iteration makes more sense to me.Iteration yes, but separating the patches no into another series no.quoted
The removal of kdb_modules is semantically part of your module clean up patch set and should certainly be included in it. The removal of the spurious #include's in other kdb files is a good change but it is fully independent of the module rework. AFAICT those fixes are good with or without your changes. This suggests these changes can be separate from the main patch set.Small fixes get piled in first on the series. But this is not a fix. This effort will not be merged separately too. This won't go into the next merge window either, because: 1) There is no rush 2) It is too late as all this needs proper testing and its too late to claim enough testing So given this is all related to the move I see no reason to treat this as a separate series. Your review of the v11 would be nice.
The reason to suggest separation was that the changes to the other files in kernel/debug/ are entirely independent of the module rework and would usually be landed via a different tree. On the whole it doesn't really matter much... but landing the independent parts via the normal route for kgdb code reduces what I have to remember acking. Daniel.
