| |
In include/linux/init.h, it says:
For initialized data: You should insert __initdata between the variable name and equal sign followed by value, e.g.:
static int init_variable __initdata = 0; static char linux_logo[] __initdata = { 0x32, 0x36, ... };
Don't forget to initialize data not at file scope, i.e. within a function, as gcc otherwise puts the data into the bss section and not into the init section.
Does this mean that __initdata can't be used for file scope variables, that it can only be used for file scope variables, or something else?
Thanks!
