compiling two modules from separate directories out of kernel tree
Dear all, I'm currently developping two kernel modules that I'm compiling outside of the kernel tree. One is a device driver and one is a pseudo-network device driver (encapsulating network packets). The output of the encapsulator is supposed to go to the device driver. For this reason, the device driver exports a "send_packet" function which the encapsulator calls. When loading the encapsulator module, the kernel reports a 'no version for "send_packet" found' and goes in tainted mode. It seems that this is caused by the fact that the two modules are compiled in different directories (there is no CRC for the send_packet function in the encapsulator module, only for the kernel functions it calls). One solution is to put all the modules in one directory. When this is done, a CRC is present in the encapsulator module as expected by the module loader and there is no warning anymore. But as the two drivers are not definitely related (the device driver can be used without the encapsulator), I would like to keep them in separate directories. This situation ressembles to the situation of the PLIP and the parport driver. Is there a way to avoid the warning (and tainted mode) while still compiling them outside of the kernel tree and in separate directories ?
