Motivation for this change

I want to provide newer kernel headers to a package that requires them.

Things done

  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

I agree it would be good to make this function public, however, we should avoid adding more functions to the top-level; it's really intended only for packages and package sets.

Is there a recommended place to put functions like these?

Not really. You could add the function to its own passthru. You would then get linuxHeaders.makeLinuxHeaders.

I think there may still be a reason to expose makeKernelHeaders when working with non-mainline features. However the features I wanted were merged around 5.0, so updating to 5.5 is sufficient. Going to close in favor of the update.
