kmod 2
|
|
|
|
|
======
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some bugs fixed: the worst of them was with an infinite loop when an alias
|
|
|
|
|
matched more than one module.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- New APIs in libkmod to:
|
|
|
|
|
- Get soft dependencies
|
|
|
|
|
- Get info from module files parsing ELF
|
|
|
|
|
- Get modversions from files parsing ELF
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Support to load gzipped kernel modules: kmod can be compiled with support to
|
|
|
|
|
gzipped modules by giving the --enable-zlib flag
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Support to forcefully load modules, both vermagic and modversion
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Support to force and nowait removal flags
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Configuration files are parsed in the same order as modprobe: files are
|
|
|
|
|
sorted alphabetically (independently of their dir) and files with the same
|
|
|
|
|
name obey a precedence order
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- New tool: kmod-modinfo
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- kmod-modprobe gained several features to be a 1:1 replacement for modprobe.
|
|
|
|
|
The only missing things are the options '--showconfig' and '-t / -l'. These
|
|
|
|
|
last ones have been deprecated long ago and they will be removed from
|
|
|
|
|
modprobe. A lot of effort has been put on kmod-modprobe to ensure it
|
|
|
|
|
maintains compabitility with modprobe.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- linux-modules@vger.kernel.org became the official mailing list for kmod
|

|
First version of kmod and its library, libkmod.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the libkmod it's currently possible to:
|
|
|
|
|
- List modules currently loaded
|
|
|
|
|
- Get information about loaded modules such as initstate, refcount,
|
|
|
|
|
holders, sections, address and size
|
|
|
|
|
- Lookup modules by alias, module name or path
|
|
|
|
|
- Insert modules: options from configuration and extra options can be
|
|
|
|
|
passed, but flags are not implemented, yet
|
|
|
|
|
- Remove modules
|
|
|
|
|
- Filter list of modules using blacklist
|
|
|
|
|
- For each module, get the its list of options and install/remove
|
|
|
|
|
commands
|
|
|
|
|
- Indexes can be loaded on startup to speedup lookups later
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tools provided with the same set of options as in module-init-tools:
|
|
|
|
|
- kmod-lsmod
|
|
|
|
|
- kmod-insmod
|
|
|
|
|
- kmod-rmmod
|
|
|
|
|
- kmod-modprobe, with some functionality still missing (use of softdep,
|
|
|
|
|
dump configuration, show modversions)
|
