Hi,
The digi driver that I re-wrote recently uses linker_load_file() to
grab some throwaway data from another purpose-built digi_* module.
At the moment, I use an almost-hard-coded filename of
snprintf(modfile, MAXPATHLEN, "/boot/kernel/digi_%s.ko", sc->module);
which isn't really very bright.
Can anyone tell me what the plans are for linker_search_path() in
kern/kern_linker.c ? There's a comment (written by peter):
/*
* There will be a system to look up or guess a file name from
* a module name.
* For now we just try to load a file with the same name.
*/
pathname = linker_search_path(modname);
I wouldn't mind implementing that ``system'' or even making
linker_search_path() non-static so that I can use it from
dev/digi/digi.c.
Comments ?
Cheers.
