Scanning during boot and module loading is blocking. modprobe will wait in the kernel until the initial scan is complete.

Patch to make user scan blocking is pending. -- tejun - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||
