Subject: [PATCH 2/2] module: Rename EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL_FOR_MODULES to EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_MODULES
Date: Tue, 08 Jul 2025 09:28:58 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250708-export_modules-v1-2-fbf7a282d23f@suse.cz> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250708-export_modules-v1-0-fbf7a282d23f@suse.cz>
With module namespace access restricted to in-tree modules, the GPL
requirement becomes implied. Drop it from the name of the export helper.
Signed-off-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz>
