Subject: Re: Driver Model 2 Proposal - Linux Kernel Performance v Usability
Date: Wed, 10 Sep 2003 16:50:24 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3F5F8E90.4020701@techsource.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: Pine.LNX.4.53.0309041723090.9557@chaos
I just have one quick question about all of this:
People mention that driver interfaces don't change much in stable
releases, but if memory serves, symbol versioning information changes
with each minor release, requiring a recompile of modules.
Would it be possible to have a driver module which can be dropped into,
say, 2.6.17 that can also be dropped into 2.6.18 as long as the
interface doesn't change?
