Subjectdifficulty with symbol export

Hi all,


Just playing with the kernel code, I added a silly function

struct file_operations *get_socket_fileops ()
{
return &socket_file_ops;
}

at the bottom of net/socket.c, and

EXPORT_SYMBOL(get_socket_fileops);

into net/netsyms.c, expecting to be able to call this function
from a loadable module and to printk the function addresses
from the file_operations struct.

However, on rebooting into this modified kernel, my test module
fails to load, saying

foo.o: unresolved symbol get_socket_fileops

even though the symbol looks exported in vmlinux (nm) and
in /boot/System.map:

c020ca90 T get_socket_fileops
0c2b52bf ? __kstrtab_get_socket_fileops
0c2ba358 ? __ksymtab_get_socket_fileops

which looks exactly like sock_create, which the module *is*
able to address.

Any pointers?


thanks,
-prasad.
