Subject: [PATCH] Revert module directory hierarchy and depmod invocation
Date: Fri, 13 Dec 2002 14:04:57 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20021213030554.F27312C14D@lists.samba.org> (raw)
Linus, please apply.
While the kernel, depmod et. al. don't care, other tools want the
directory hierarchy under /lib/modules/`uname -r`/. Sure, it's bogus
for them to rely on kernel source layout, but noone has come up with a
better alternative, so revert.
NOTE: You *still* can't have two modules of the same name! (You never
could).
Thanks,
Rusty.

Name: Module init reentry fix
Author: Rusty Russell
Status: Tested on 2.5.51
D: This changes the code to drop the module_mutex() before calling the
D: module's init function, so module init functions can call
D: request_module(). This was trivial before someone broke the module
D: code to start non-live. Now it requires us to keep info on the
D: exact module state.
