This is a bulk spelling fix patch against busybox-1.00-pre10. If anyone gets a corrupted copy (and cares), let me know and I will make alternate arrangements. Erik - please apply. Authors - please check that I didn't corrupt any meaning. Package importers - see if any of these changes should be passed to the upstream authors. I glossed over lots of sloppy capitalizations, missing apostrophes, mixed American/British spellings, and German-style compound words. What is "pretect redefined for test" in cmdedit.c? Good luck on the 1.00 release! - Larry

Hello everyone, Busybox's insmod fails to locate a module when that module is the only one existing in the /lib/modules directory (with a unique name). Example: # find /lib/modules/ -type f /lib/modules/kernel/drivers/char/bios.o # insmod bios insmod: bios.o: no module by that name found # touch /lib/modules/dummy # find /lib/modules/ -type f /lib/modules/kernel/drivers/char/bios.o /lib/modules/dummy # insmod bios Using /lib/modules/kernel/drivers/char/bios.o As long as there is another file in the /lib/modules directory, insmod finds it OK. I tracked the problem down to 'check_module_name_match()' in insmod.c: It returns TRUE when a match is found, and FALSE otherwise. In the case where there is only one module in the /lib/modules directory (or more that one module, but all with the same name), 'recursive_action()' will return TRUE and we end up on line 4196 in 'insmod.c' which returns an error. [The reason it works with more than one module with different names is that in this case there will always be one not matching, 'recursive_action()' will return FALSE and we end up in line 4189.] Now, from the implementation of 'recursive_action()' and from other usages of it (tar.c, etc.), it seems to me that FALSE should be returned to indicate that we want to stop the recursion, so TRUE and FALSE should be inverted in 'check_module_name_match()'. At the same time, 'recursive_action()' continues to recurse even after the recursive call has returned FALSE; again in my understanding and other usages of it, we can safely stop recursing at this point. Here is my patch against 1.00-pre8:

2003-12-19Patch from Woody Suwalski:Eric Andersen
Erik, I think we have met online some time ago when I was in Corel/Rebel Netwinder project.... Anyway, I would like to use BB on 2.6.0 initrd. 1.00-pre4 works OK, if insmod is actually presented with a full path to the module. Otherwise - problems (not to mention conflicts when 2.4 modutil is enabled) Here are some patches for insmod and modprobe which try to walk around the default ".o" module format for 2.2/2.4 modules (you have probably noticed it is now .ko in 2.6 ;-)) Trying to steal as little space as possible if 2.6 not enabled... The modprobe is still not perfect on 2.6 - seems to be jamming on some dependencies, but works with some (to be debugged). Anyway after the patches it at least tries to work.... Will there be a 1.00-pre5 coming any time soon? Thanks, Woody
