For kernel modules you want <linux-versionnumber/foo.h>
Why would you ever want that?
This is a disaster if you want a kernel module to support a wide range of kernels, from 2.0.* to 2.3.*. Especially if version number inludes the patchlevel.
#if (LINUX_VERSION_CODE == 0x020201) #include <linux-2.2.1/foo.h> #elif (LINUX_VERSION_CODE == 0x020202) #include <linux-2.2.2/foo.h> #elif (LINUX_VERSION_CODE == 0x020203) #include <linux-2.2.3/foo.h> #elif (LINUX_VERSION_CODE == 0x020204) #include <linux-2.2.4/foo.h> #elif (LINUX_VERSION_CODE == 0x020205) #include <linux-2.2.5/foo.h> #elif (LINUX_VERSION_CODE == 0x020206) #include <linux-2.2.6/foo.h> .... #endif
I hope I'm misunderstanding your idea.... (!)
