Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 11:36:36 -0600 From: Shawn Bohrer <shawn.bohrer@...il.com> To: rusty@...tcorp.com.au Cc: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: Modversions and long symbol names Currently when modversions is enabled the kernel will not load any modules that depend on exported symbols with names longer than 64 - sizeof(unsigned long) characters. This is because the struct modversion_info has the name member set to a size of MODULE_NAME_LEN. This is not the module name this is the symbol name so I'm guessing this is a mistake or at least a misused constant. Is it possible to increase this size to something more reasonable like 512 characters? -- Shawn -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
