I run out of module space because I have several big driver modules. I know I can strip the modules to decrease size but I need debug info now. The default size of module is 16MB and the size is statically defined in the header file. But a description for the module space size tells that it can be configurable at most 32MB. I have changed the module space size to 18MB and tested my platform. It has been looking good. I am not sure my patch is proper solution. Anyway, could I configure the module space size? Or could I place the modules into vmalloc area?
Aside from the good comments that Russell made, I would remark that the fact that you need multiple megabytes worth of modules indicates that you are doing something wrong. Can you point to a git tree containing those modules? Arnd
