We need a way for a module to dynamically link itself, to whatever other modules it wants to use, and to be able to do that conditionally based on whether those other modules are loaded at the time it wants to use them. Then we would not only get rid of one of the remaining distinctions between binding a module into the base kernel and loading it dynamically, but also this possibly last excuse for defined(MODULE). As far as I know, we still don't have any kind of a generic registration service like this in the kernel. I've had to resort to faking ioctls and proc file reads inside the kernel in order to get an address from another dynamically loaded module. -- Bryan Henderson IBM Almaden Research Center San Jose CA Filesystems - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
