[1/1] headers: fix circular dependency between linux/sched.h and linux/wait.h
Commit Message
Currently sched.h and wait.h have circular dependency between both.
wait.h defines macros wake_up*() which use macros TASK_* defined by
sched.h. But as sched.h indirectly includes wait.h, such wait.h header
file can't include sched.h too. The side effect is when some file
includes wait.h and tries to use its wake_up*() macros, it's necessary
to include sched.h also.
This patch moves all TASK_* macros from linux/sched.h to a new header
file linux/task_sched.h. This way, both sched.h and wait.h can include
task_sched.h and fix the circular dependency. No need to include sched.h
anymore when wake_up*() macros are used.

Just include <linux/sched.h> in your driver.
This include splitting in small pieces is troublesome as well.
Why are you moving TASK_COMM_LEN?

Sounds a reasonable solution for me.

But I disagree it's troublesome. It's transparent to everyone else.
The only side effect is to not have to include sched.h when using a
macro define on wait.h.

This one can be moved back to sched.h.

so, simply to call wake_up*() we need to know everything there is to
know about the scheduler ? I rather have the split done and kill the
circular dependency. What does Mingo and Peter think about this ?

"know everything" is exaggeration.
You add sched.h, if someone else haven't added it already via other headers.
File is misnamed, BTW. It should be called task-state.h or something.
And, again, TASK_COMM_LEN should be left alone.

It's not circular for starters.

how come ? wait.h depends on sched and sched.h depends on wait.h

The tricky thing is wait.h doesn't depend on sched.h, but the file
which uses wake_up*() macro defined on wait.h will depend on sched.h
(what is still bad). wait.h should provide all dependencies to use a
macro it defines. I'll send a new version for this patch following the
comments I got. Let's see how it looks like.

That's why I say wait.h depends on sched.h because it uses a macro
defined in sched.h
