Subject: [PATCH 02/86] dccp: revert buggy auto-loading of dccp module
Date: Mon, 1 Feb 2010 07:18:07 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1265005087-5549-3-git-send-email-gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1265005087-5549-2-git-send-email-gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>
This reverts commit (38ff3e6bb987ec583268da8eb22628293095d43b) ("dccp_probe:
Fix module load dependencies between dccp and dccp_probe", from 15 Jan). Not
only does it not work:
% modprobe -v dccp_probe
kernel: [ 1431.442912] sys_init_module: 'dccp_probe'->init suspiciously \
returned 1, it should follow 0/-E convention
kernel: [ 1431.442915] sys_init_module: loading module anyway...
... but it also causes a crash:
% rmmod dccp_probe

==> After reverting the commit:
% modprobe -v dccp_probe
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.33-rc5/kernel/net/dccp/dccp.ko
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.33-rc5/kernel/net/dccp/dccp_probe.ko
% lsmod
Module Size Used by
dccp_probe 2345 0
dccp 120233 1 dccp_probe
Previously (during about 4 years of this module's history) there had never
been a problem with the 'silent dependency' that the commit tried to fix:
this dependency is deliberate and required, since dccp_probe performs probing
of dccp connections and hence needs to know about dccp internals.
