dependencies so 2.6 support depends on insmod or lsmod...
2005-05-03Takeharu Kato said:Rob Landley
I found that lsmod in busybox does not support linux-2.6. I fix this issue(it is caused by changes of /proc/modules format). If you use lsmod in busybox with kernel-2.6, please use this patch.

Hi! I've created a patch to busybox' build system to allow building it in separate tree in a manner similar to kbuild from kernel version 2.6. That is, one runs command like 'make O=/build/some/where/for/specific/target/and/options' and everything is built in this exact directory, provided that it exists. I understand that applyingc such invasive changes during 'release candidates' stage of development is at best unwise. So, i'm currently asking for comments about this patch, starting from whether such thing is needed at all to whether it coded properly. 'make check' should work now, and one make creates Makefile in build directory, so one can run 'make' in build directory after that. One possible caveat is that if we build in some directory other than source one, the source directory should be 'distclean'ed first. egor
2004-09-24Patch from Egor DudaGlenn L McGrath
Attached patch prevents modprobe from trying to call 'insmod (null)' whenever nonexistent module is either passed to modprobe via command line or mentioned in modules.dep this replaces cryptic error sh: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")") with modprobe: module some-module not found. egor.
2004-09-02Based on patches from Mike Frysinger, add insmod support forEric Andersen
sparc and ia64 (itanium). Also, reorganize the insmod architecture support code to be alphasorted and less messy. Update the readme to list current insmod arch support.

Hello, function build_dep in modprobe.c assumes that dependencies of one module have not more than 255 chars; that is not sufficient in kernel 2.6.7 (alsa sound modules). - Below is a diff that solves the problem for me. With regards, Christian Ostheimer

2004-08-11Patch from Phil Blundellto improve substring matchGlenn L McGrath
2004-08-11Willian Barsse wroteGlenn L McGrath
"There seems to be a slight problem with the "mod_strcmp" function in modprobe.c, it scans for the first occurence of the module name in the "mod_path" variable and expects it to be the last path element. ie /lib/modules/2.4.22-debug/kernel/fs/vfat in my example. The comparison will always fail if mod_path contains another substring matching the module name." Robert McQueen wrote "Although William Barsse's patch fixed mod_strcmp for 2.4 kernels, there was a remaining problem which prevented it from working for me. I've just tracked it down - when you enable kernel 2.6 module support it hard-wired the extension to .ko instead of checking at runtime like the other places where 2.4 differs from 2.6. The attached patch fixes this for me."

fixes two other issues (plus the previous as well) with a 2.4 kernel : - should be able to modprobe an already loaded module and get 0 return code : # modprobe <something> && modprobe <something> && echo "ok" || echo "failed" .... failed Well, hope this helps and that I didn't screw up again, - William
2004-07-22Patch from Mike Snitzer <snitzer@gmail.com>:Robert Griebl
Support for /etc/modprobe.conf (for 2.6 kernels) should likely be added to bb's modprobe, see attached patch. modprobe.conf is just a (even simpler) variant of modules.conf

Hi, There was some problem with busybox modprobe. For details see http://www.busybox.net/lists/busybox/2004-May/011507.html I made a patch against busybox-1.00-pre10 to fix that one. This is a slight variant of Patrick's patch with a slightly cleaner implementation of mod_strcmp() -Erik

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

Fix parsing of all tag-value pairs (in modules.conf in particular). Without this fix, code chokes badly on lines where either value or both tag+value are missing, like bare alias line, or alias w/o the value like alias some-module (syntactically incorrect, but no need for coredumps either).

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:
