I think this has the same risk with building dpdk application in a platform with newer kernel version, and distribute it to the another platform with older kernel. If interface is backward compatible, this should be OK. In this approach we are duplicating the kernel headers, which is not a great option. Also this requires maintenance, updating kernel headers in DPDK as needed, which is not great in long run. I guess intention is to enable a feature that comes with newer kernel versions, if so why not force enable it in DPDK, like: #ifndef FEATURE_MACRO #define FEATURE_MACRO #define X #define Y #define Z #endif If the kernel uAPI is stable, moving these defines to library should be OK. When this feature hits the distribution kernels we can remove defines from the DPDK library. OR, won't it help if whoever building DPDK, download kernel headers package for necessary version, and build DPDK with them? For this documenting required versions, and a how to documentation to explain meson commands etc.. may be sufficient. >> >>> It can also help simplify spaghetti code done to support >>> different versions of the Linux Kernel headers used by >>> the build system. >>> >>> Guidelines and import script are also part of first patch. >>> A uAPI checker script is added in this 3rd RFC, goals is to >>> use it in CI for any patch touching linux-headers/uapi. >>> >>> Follow-up patches are an example of imported uAPI inclusion >>> of VDUSE header into the Vhost library. >>> >>> Morten, I did not (again) apply your Ack on patch 1, as it >>> has some significant changes and additions. >>> >>> Changes in RFC v3: >>> ================== >>> - Support nested headers include >>> - Interactive mode to select which headers to include >>> - Store version in a file instead of git commit messages >>> - All imported headers aligned on same version >>> - Improve loops in scripts (David) >>> - Update documentation >>> >>> >>> Changes in RFC v2: >>> ================== >>> - Fix typos in documentation and commit messags (David, Morten) >>> - Add uAPI checker script >>> - Add uAPI to global_inc >>> - Fix build issues on FreeBSD and documentation (CI, David) >>> - Simplify import script (David) >>> >>> Maxime Coquelin (3): >>>    uapi: introduce kernel uAPI headers import >>>    uapi: import VDUSE header >>>    vduse: use imported VDUSE uAPI header >>> >>>   devtools/check-linux-uapi.sh           |  85 ++++++ >>>   devtools/import-linux-uapi.sh          | 119 +++++++++ >>>   doc/guides/contributing/index.rst      |   1 + >>>   doc/guides/contributing/linux_uapi.rst |  71 +++++ >>>   lib/vhost/meson.build                  |   5 +- >>>   lib/vhost/vduse.c                      |   2 +- >>>   lib/vhost/vduse.h                      |  22 -- >>>   linux-headers/uapi/.gitignore          |   4 + >>>   linux-headers/uapi/linux/vduse.h       | 353 +++++++++++++++++++++++++ >>>   linux-headers/uapi/version             |   1 + >>>   meson.build                            |   8 +- >>>   11 files changed, 642 insertions(+), 29 deletions(-) >>>   create mode 100755 devtools/check-linux-uapi.sh >>>   create mode 100755 devtools/import-linux-uapi.sh >>>   create mode 100644 doc/guides/contributing/linux_uapi.rst >>>   create mode 100644 linux-headers/uapi/.gitignore >>>   create mode 100644 linux-headers/uapi/linux/vduse.h >>>   create mode 100644 linux-headers/uapi/version >>> >> >
