Subject: SysFS, module names and .name

Message-ID: <43176488.2080608@rulez.cz> (raw)
Greetings,
in sysfs, /sys/bus/*/drivers lists the driver names, with their exported
.name (eg. '.name = "EMU10K1_Audigy"' in the module code, from now on
'driver name'). In /sys/modules, the kernel modules are listed with
their module name, eg. snd_emu10k1. However, it seems to me that in
sysfs, there is no way in particular to tell, which module has which
.name. That is, that snd_emu10k1 is EMU10K1_Audigy and vice versa.
I wonder whether it wouldn't be possible to add a symlink to the
particular module from the driver, and/or from the module to the driver,
so the list of devices handled by the module and the module name would
be accessible. This way, I would know which driver name corresponds to
which module name and vice versa.
Or am I just boldly missing something, and there is a way how to do this
from userspace, preferably without reading /proc/kcore?
Thanks in advance for reply.
