| |
Hi,
some time ago i spotted that around 20% of the Linux modules lacking a MODULE_DESCRIPTION field. ( http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10770 )
I think it`s not a practicable approach to get this fixed by some single person digging trough all the modules. If itŽs fixed for a kernel release, one year later there would be another bunch of new modules lacking the description field again.
What about a build-time or run-time warning for missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION ? (as it exists for MODULE_LICENSE in modpost.c)
Wouldn`t that solve the "problem" automatically as time goes by ?
regards Roland
