Hi all,
When doing insmod, we find our function named "rxe_mem_alloc" is renamed as
"rxe_mem_alloc.isra.2" in kernel symbol table @ /proc/kallsyms
I am curious why the kernel appends ".isra.2" to the original function.
Why this happens? What is this for?
Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Cheers,
Wenda Ni, Ph.D.
