Hello; thanks for the info, I did revert the nopage back into the kernel, but after all of that, I'm confronted with the module not being a GPL-only module `init_pid_ns'. I've looked in kernel/pid.c and am noticing EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(init_pid_ns); With that in mind I'm more concerned about the module not being GPL-only, is this in full enforcement, or just a thaught that irritated a bunch of people. regards;
