Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Attention by Linus Torvalds needed to export symbol he wrote
Date: Sat, 8 Feb 2014 14:11:01 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1391886663-19583-1-git-send-email-ryao@gentoo.org> (raw)
Dear Linus,
Loading kernel modules off 9p-virtio in a Linux guest causes VM termination
because of a page fault in unmapped memory, so I wrote a patch to fix it. Dave
Miller initially accepted it, but then rejected it because it calls an
unexported symbol from a kernel module, which breaks the build when
CONFIG_NET_9P_VIRTIO=m is set in the kernel config:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/linux.kernel/eRR7AyLE29Y
>From what I can tell, I need the original author of a symbol to sign-off on any
patch exporting it. git blame says that the original author is you, so I am
sending this pull request to you for approval.
