[PATCH 1/4] drbd: move UAPI headers to include/uapi/linux/

Christoph Böhmwalder christoph.boehmwalder at linbit.com
Tue Apr 7 19:33:53 CEST 2026


drbd.h and drbd_limits.h contain only type definitions, enums, and
constants shared between kernel and userspace. These should be part of
UAPI.

Split the genl_api header into two: the genlmsghdr and the enums are
UAPI, the rest stays there for now (it will be removed by one of the
next commits in this series).

drbd_config.h is clearly DRBD-internal, so move it there.
