Subject: Question about EXPORT of lockdep_init_map
Date: Thu, 08 Dec 2011 18:57:17 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4EE15CED.9030700@lwfinger.net> (raw)

Ingo,

Is there a reason that you used EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL for lockdep_init_map, rather 
than the general EXPORT_SYMBOL?

The reason I am asking is that the Broadcom wl hybrid driver will not load into 
a kernel with 'CONFIG_LOCKDEP=y', which is a standard choice for my kernels. I 
don't run wl very often, but I do use it to check the performance of the 
open-source driver b43.

I know how to patch my kernel source to avoid this problem, so that it was only 
a minor inconvenience.

Thanks,

Larry
