https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D227880 --- Comment #8 from Conrad Meyer <cem@freebsd.org> --- (In reply to Conrad Meyer from comment #6) To clarify, there is a distinction between a *module* which is something declared by (sometimes DRIVER_MODULE ->) DECLARE_MODULE -> MODULE_METADATA,= and a loadable kernel *file* ("foo.ko"), which can contain 0 or more *module* objects. Yes, confusingly they are often both referred to as "modules" and are often interchangeable. However, vmm.ko happens to contain three kernel module objects, and the two that succeed to load keep the .ko loaded. To confirm, try 'kldstat -m ppt' or 'kldstat -m ivhd' on the system that demonstrates the reported bug. This is sort of a WONTFIX, but it's also possible the Bhyve folks want to u= se this confusion as a reason to split up vmm.ko. Up to you guys. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
