Message-Id: <1281945814-9720-1-git-send-email-jcm@jonmasters.org> Date: Mon, 16 Aug 2010 04:03:34 -0400 From: Jon Masters <jcm@...masters.org> To: Rusty Russell <rusty@...tcorp.com.au> Cc: Linux Kernel Mailing List <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org>, Jon Masters <jcm@...masters.org> Subject: [PATCH] modules: don't call depmod when overriding external module install path Recent kernels include an additional call to depmod during the installation of external kernel modules as a convenience, in order to ensure that those modules are picked up by the module loading tools/initramfs scripts, etc. Although this call is potentially of some value, it should not be made when explicitly setting INSTALL_MOD_PATH to a different location. This avoids creating extraneous modules.* files that will never be used.
