Hi
I want to implement a kind of module autoloading mechanism. The situation is the following: There are two modules A and B, where A needs module B to be loaded under certain (runtime) conditions.
First I thought the solution would be pretty simple. I wanted to use a function like find_module from kernel/module.c to search module_list for a module of a certain name. If it is not there request_module would be used to load the module and afterwards another find_module call should return a pointer to the module if the call succeeded.
Unfortunately this solutions does not work in general as module_list is not exported which means that I'm getting those nasty 'unresolved symbol' messages when insmoding module A.
Any suggestions? Thanks for your help.
