Maybe we should disable to stuff until it is fixed? The code originally used get_module_symbol(), which did what I wanted quite nicely - it meant that modules like cfi_probe didn't have to have a hard dependency on every individual command set module. It was changed to the new inter_module_xxx abomination when Linus decided to include it in 2.4.0-test$something, and it introduced link order dependencies and generally broke. Let's just strip it out and let the modules depend on each other. We can play ugly ifdef tricks to 'fix' that, it's better than using inter_module_get(). -- dwmw2 To unsubscribe, send "unsubscribe mtd" to majordomo@infradead.org
