Subject: [PATCH 2/3] module: be more picky about allowing missing module versions
Date: Fri, 9 May 2008 16:24:21 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200805091624.21659.rusty@rustcorp.com.au> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <200805091623.18127.rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

We allow missing __versions sections, because modprobe --force strips
it.  It makes less sense to allow sections where there's no version
for a specific symbol the module uses, so disallow that.
