As mentioned in my response to v1 patch:
kselftest has dependency on "make headers" and tests include headers from linux/ directory
Right but that assumes you install the kernel headers on the build system, which is quite a painful thing to have to do when you are quickly iterating on a qemu setup.
This is a use case I use all the time so not at all theoretical.
This is turning out to be a fairly typical reaction from kernel developers, when presented with the "you must first run make headers" requirement for kselftests.
Peter Zijlstra's "NAK NAK NAK" response [1] last year was the most colorful, so I'll helpfully cite it here. :)
But seriously...user feedback is rare and valuable. We have some, to the effect of, "lose that requirement". And we also have an agreement, and an initial implementation in selftests/mm, on *how* to avoid it [2].
So...let's do it that way? Please?
