Subject: [PATCH 2/3] modpost: allow "make nsdeps" to skip module-specific symbol namespace
Date: Thu, 22 May 2025 16:17:21 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250522071744.2362563-2-masahiroy@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250522071744.2362563-1-masahiroy@kernel.org>

When MODULE_IMPORT_NS() is missing, "make nsdeps" runs the Coccinelle
script to automatically add MODULE_IMPORT_NS() to each module.

This should not occur for users of EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL_FOR_MODULES(), which
is intended to export a symbol to a specific module only. In such cases,
explicitly adding MODULE_IMPORT_NS("module:...") is disallowed.

This commit handles the latter case separately in order not to trigger
the Coccinelle, and displays the error message:

  ERROR: modpost: module "foo" uses symbol "bar", which is exported only for module "baz"

Apply the same logic for kernel space as well.

Fixes: 092a4f5985f2 ("module: Add module specific symbol namespace support")
