Hi Tejun, This commit has the side effect of making some functions EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL that had been previously exported with EXPORT_SYMBOL for a long time, such as schedule_work(). This is used by OpenAFS and probably other out of tree modules. Past exchanges on this list (ex: http://marc.info/?l=linux-fsdevel&m=123550631318910) suggest the license requirements for existing interfaces shouldn't change, at least without providing an alternate means of getting the same functionality. Any thoughts on whether this can be adjusted within the current release cycle?
