Subject: Modversions and long symbol names
Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 11:36:36 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090120173636.GB24529@mediacenter> (raw)
Currently when modversions is enabled the kernel will not load any
modules that depend on exported symbols with names longer than
64 - sizeof(unsigned long) characters.
This is because the struct modversion_info has the name member set to a
size of MODULE_NAME_LEN. This is not the module name this is the symbol
name so I'm guessing this is a mistake or at least a misused constant.
Is it possible to increase this size to something more reasonable like
512 characters?
