Hi all,

After merging the mm-nonmm-unstable tree, today's linux-next build (x86 allmodconfig) failed like this:

In file included from /tmp/next/build/samples/vfs/test-list-all-mounts.c:11:
/tmp/next/build/samples/vfs/../../tools/testing/selftests/pidfd/pidfd.h:28:10: fatal error: kselftest.h: No such file or directory
28 | #include "kselftest.h"

      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~

compilation terminated.
make[5]: *** [/tmp/next/build/scripts/Makefile.userprogs:29: samples/vfs/test-list-all-mounts] Error 1 make[4]: *** [/tmp/next/build/scripts/Makefile.build:556: samples/vfs] Error 2 make[4]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

Caused by commit

f46a41a153634 (selftests: complete kselftest include centralization)

I have reverted that commit for today.

Well that:

#include "../../tools/testing/selftests/pidfd/pidfd.h"

was a strange thing to do.

I'll toss this on top:

samples/vfs/Makefile renamed from samples/vfs/Makefile~selftests-complete-kselftest-include-centralization-fix +2 -0
@@ -1,4 +1,6 @@
 # SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-only
 userprogs-always-y += test-fsmount test-statx mountinfo test-list-all-mounts
 
+CFLAGS += -I../../tools/testing/selftests

 userccflags += -I usr/include

_

but there's probably a better way...
