If you destabilize some part of the kernel, it becomes the natural suspect for problems. The corollary is, I'm getting more reports on kernel "module" bugs which are not actually my fault at all (and some, like erroneous __init sections, which the new module code just shows up). This is one: these drivers are actually broken. They give warnings on compile, they won't link when compiled in, and they won't insert as modules.

That's the point: they use cli, sti and save_flags. All three were eliminated in SMP completely independently of the module changes. Hope I'm being clearer?

Okay, so there are two issues, the SMP issue noted and and changes which might be needed to make them work as modules.

Gotit, thanks. Nope, one issue. The SMP issue. There is no module issue here. These are not the droids you are looking for. 8) A patch to deprecate those functions might be in order. But so might a patch to just rip them out. Hope that buries this, Rusty. -- Anyone who quotes me in their sig is an idiot. -- Rusty Russell. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 11+ messages in thread
