ufs_fs.h certainly has things which certain types of userspace programs could use: on-disk layouts of UFS(2) inodes, cylinder groups, ... So it should be exported.
However, NAK patch in this form until all kernel internal things would dissapear from exported header: struct ufs_buffer_head, ufs_sb_private_info. Probably something else, I haven't looked closely. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
