Re: [PATCH v6 7/9] xen: ifdef inclusion of <asm/grant_table.h> in <xen/grant_table.h>



Hi Oleksii,

It would have been nice to explain the reason of this change. Is this a compilation error or just a nice thing to have?

The reason I am asking is...


The following changes were done for Arm:
<asm/grant_table.h> should be included directly because it contains
gnttab_dom0_frames() macros which is unique for Arm and is used in
arch/arm/domain_build.c.
<asm/grant_table.h> is #ifdef-ed with CONFIG_GRANT_TABLE in
<xen/grant_table.h> so in case of !CONFIG_GRANT_TABLE gnttab_dom0_frames
won't be available for use in arch/arm/domain_build.c.

... I find rather ugly that we require domain_build.c to include both asm/grant_table.h and xen/grant_table.h.

Right now, I don't have a better approach, so I would be ok so long the rationale of the change is explained in the commit message.
