[BUG] When I tried to remove btrfs_bio::fs_info and use btrfs_bio::inode to grab the fs_info, the header "btrfs_inode.h" is needed to access the full btrfs_inode structure. Then btrfs will fail to compile. [CAUSE] There is a recursive including chain: "bio.h" -> "btrfs_inode.h" -> "extent_map.h" -> "compression.h" -> "bio.h" That recursive including is causing problems for btrfs. [ENHANCEMENT] To reduce the risk of recursive including: - Remove unnecessary local includes from btrfs headers Either the included header is pulled in by other headers, or is completely unnecessary. - Remove btrfs local includes if the header only requires a pointer In that case let the implementing C file to pull the required header. This is especially important for headers like "btrfs_inode.h" which pulls in a lot of other btrfs headers, thus it's a mine field of recursive including. - Remove unnecessary temporary structure definition Either if we have included the header defining the structure, or completely unused. Now including "btrfs_inode.h" inside "bio.h" is completely fine, although "btrfs_inode.h" still includes "extent_map.h", but that header only includes "fs.h", no more chain back to "bio.h".

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
