  Hi, I want to continue that discussion
I see three options to resolve this:
1. Add `#include <stddef.h>` in every header that uses `size_t` (patch
provided).
2. Add `#include <stddef.h>` to `asm-generic/posix_types.h` and make
sure every header that uses `size_t` will include that.
3. Replace all usages of `size_t` with `__kernel_size_t`.

Included a patch for the first option but if people prefer I'll
provide patches for the rest.
I never contributed code to linux so feedback on your thoughts and the
process are more than welcome :)

```
```
