| |
Hello,
I found several drivers that use __devexit_p and __exit_p on functions that don't live in .devexit.text or .exit.text resp.
The impact is either that these functions use memory without being used or that they don't link.
I send 24 patches as a reply to this mail. I choosed to move the functions into the respective function instead of using the right __{dev,}exit_p wrapper because it seems to me to have less impact.
I didn't made the effort to find out the right people to Cc: but I hope that Andrew takes care of that :-)
Best regards Uwe
