[PATCH 6/6] module: Remove the error-injection.h include from linux/module.h

From: Petr Pavlu

Date: Fri Sep 11 2026 - 11:40:57 EST


linux/module.h appears in roughly 15k #include directives across the
kernel. This makes it a "hot" header, so it should avoid pulling in
unnecessary definitions.

The header currently includes linux/error-injection.h to obtain the
definition of `struct error_injection_entry`. However, this is unnecessary
because the type is only referenced in the file as a pointer, for which an
incomplete type is sufficient.

Remove the linux/error-injection.h include from linux/module.h and add it
to kernel/module/main.c instead, where
`sizeof(struct error_injection_entry)` is actually needed.
