Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Mon, 13 Nov 2000 11:06:27 +0000 Message-ID: <16638.974113587@redhat.com> Sender: owner-mtd@infradead.org List-ID: I'm about to merge the changes made in 2.4.0-test11 to get rid of get_module_symbol() and use inter_module_register() instead. This is going to break the 2.2 build. But we _already_ had to patch the stock 2.2 kernel because get_module_symbol() was broken and didn't increase the use count of the module in which it found the symbol. Does anyone feel like volunteering to back-port Keith's inter_module_xxx patch to 2.2? Please put it in the patches/ directory of the CVS tree (or send it to me if you don't have CVS access). Also, it's probably worth sending it to Alan for possible inclusion in 2.2 - as I said, get_module_symbol() is already broken there. -- dwmw2 To unsubscribe, send "unsubscribe mtd" to majordomo@infradead.org
