| |
Hello Rusty,
As it seeems that you are the maintainer of the module related code in the Linux kernel, I send these two small patches to you:
This little patch adds the missing function declaration of the deprecatated function call inter_module_get to the header file include/linux/module.h and the necessary EXPORT_SYMBOL to kernel/intermodule.c. Without the declaration and the EXPORT_SYMBOL any module that requires the inter_module_get call will fail upon loading since the symbol inter_module_get cannot be resolved, applying this patch will make those modules work again.
Kernel version is 2.6.12.1
Affected modules are for example the ltmodem drivers version 8.31a8 for lucent chipsets, they won't work without the fix.
Regards,
Adrian Glaubitz (glaubitz@physik.fu-berlin.de)
