don’t you need to add an entry in include/linux/genalloc.h ?

Not sure what exactly you mean. declaration is there.
include/linux/genalloc.h:120:extern struct gen_pool *devm_gen_pool_create(struct device *dev,

And all EXPORT_SYMBOL() are out of headers directly below function
which you want to export.

Can you please clarify what you did mean by that?

Thanks,
Michal

Oops missed it, since it was a exported function I was expecting a entry
in a header file, but yes the entry exists already so,
