I'm having some slight issues with using tcp_hashinfo in 2.4.19. It
appears to be exported (net/netsyms.c), appears in the System.map
generated, but when I try to load a module that makes use of it, insmod
claims it isn't there (and isn't listed in /proc/ksyms either,
explaining why insmod complains).
Is there any voodoo that I have to do to make use of this symbol in a
module?
thanks,
shaya

It's only exported when IPV6 is enabled as a module.

Conditionally exporting symbols based upon CONFIG_* is a PITA. Do we
really need to do this and will you accept a patch making go away?
It's nice to be able to build a module outside of the kernel source
and not have to rebuild the kernel to get access to symbols.

Nobody else should need to get at the TCP hash tables.
Are you trying to work on a proprietary binary-only implementation of
Linux IPv6 TCP :-)
Franks a lot,
