alias 'off' parsing fix. It is not alias off module it is alias module off
2004-04-06Michael Tokarev, mjt at tls dot msk dot ru writes:Eric Andersen
Initialize all fields of struct dep_t. Without that, e.g. `busybox modprobe -v char-major-10-144' *sometimes* fails this way (strace): write(1, "insmod nvram `\213\f\10\n", 21) = 21 Note the garbage after module name which is taken from the m_options field, which is not initialized in the alias reading/parsing part. (Shell properly complains to this command, telling it can't find the closing backtick)

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:

I have found the problem in modprobe, so here is the promised patch At the current stage I can use it as modprobe while switching between 2.4 and 2.6 seemlesly...(that is good!)
2004-01-06Woody Suwalski writes:Eric Andersen
accept more then 1 dependency per modules.dep line. Also white space cleanup... I think that parsing still breaks sometimes, but is mostly functional now.

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

Hey guys. I've found a bug in modprobe where it generates bad strings and makes sytem calls with them. The following patch seems to have fixed the problem. It is rather inherited elsewhere, as there seems to be incorrect entries in the list which results in more dependencies than really exist for a given call to mod_process. But, this patch prevents the bad text from going to the screen. You will notice there are cases where lcmd goes unmodified before calling system. Please consider the following patch. Thanks. -Steve

2003-09-08Busybox modprobe has a couple of irritating quirks:Glenn L McGrath
- attempting to modprobe a module that is already loaded yields "Failed to load module", whereas modutils quietly ignores such a request. - if a module genuinely can't be loaded due to missing symbols or similar problems, modprobe doesn't produce any useful diagnostics because the output from insmod has been redirected to /dev/null. Here's a patch to address these issue Patch by Philip Blundell

Hello all, This patch adds more "Help" text to the config system. Almost all applets now have a help entry. Also, I cleaned up the spacing of the existing text so that things are consistent. This patch is against this morning's CVS. Thomas Cameron CEI Systems, Inc.

2003-06-20Patch from Andrew Dennison:Eric Andersen
I've had some issues with modprobe which I reported a few months ago. This is still an issue so I decided to sort it out. The attached diff includes the changes against the unstable cvs tree that work for me. Changes are: mod_process() will report success if the module at the head of the list loads successfully. It will also report success if any module unloads successfully. The net result being that modprobe will succeed in the cases outlined below. I've also added error reporting to modprobe -r. Previously it would silently fail (but report success) if the module could not be unloaded. Andrew
