FIX: add flags arg to sys_finit_module() Thanks to Michael Kerrisk for keeping us honest.w00t! Thanks, Rusty ;-). Acked-by: Michael Kerrisk <redacted>Here's the version I ended up with when I added two flags. Lucas, is this useful to you? BTW Michael: why aren't the syscall man pages in the kernel source? Thanks, Rusty. module: add flags arg to sys_finit_module() Thanks to Michael Kerrisk for keeping us honest. These flags are actually useful for eliminating the only case where kmod has to mangle a module's internals: for overriding module versioning.
The description here is rather thin. Could you supply a sentence or two for each of MODULE_INIT_IGNORE_MODVERSIONS and MODULE_INIT_IGNORE_VERMAGIC that would be suitable for the manual page? Thanks, Michael
