[LU-533] lustre_types.h is missing, and replacement posix-types.h not included in user-space

• Type: Bug
• Resolution: Fixed

Description

The lustre_types.h header that was in 1.8 is not present on master. This means that any one including lustre/lustre_user.h in their user-space code is going to hit a compiler error.

Mining the git logs, it looks like

lustre/include/linux/lustre_types.h

from 1.8 was replaced in 2.0 by

libcfs/include/libcfs/posix/posix-types.h

as part of libcfs cleanup patches. However, posix-types.h is neither installed as part of lustre, nor included in the user-space header files.

I would think that posix-types.h needs to be installed under /usr/include/lustre and then conditionally included (!KERNEL) by lustre_user.h and any other headers that need it.
