Hey folks,
I'm attempting to load a module whose code has a call to kiobuf_init. The function kiobuf_init is defined in fs/iobuf.c BUT not forward declared in include/linux/iobuf.h (as it was in 2.4.3-12). But the kernel compiles anyway. The module code compiles as well -- even if I do ignore the undefined symbol message at compile time. However, when I try to insmod the module I get the dreaded message
module.o: unresolved symbol kiobuf_init
Now here's the funny thing:
The /boot/System.map file lists it as
c014d410 t kiobuf_init
But there's nothing in the /proc/ksyms
I've stepped through the installation process of insmod and noted that there are 1474 symbols in ksyms and none of them is kiobuf_init. So, obviously when it checks for unresolved symbols it doesn't find it.
I've recompiled the kernel, the module source and even forward declared the function, but nothing seems to work!
What could I be doing wrong???? I've been working this problem for several days now without success!
Thanks,
Tony. - 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/
