I am not sure how used this list is, but it seemed like a good place to
ask this sort of question. I was wondering if there is a way to have
the kernel autoload a module on a failed call to something that requires
it. For example if I have sctp compiled as a module, but not inserted,
and I make a call to socket() requesting a IPPROTO_SCTP socket it will
fail with EPROTONOSUPPORT. Is there a way in some sort of kernel
configuration of specifying that the sctp module should be swapped in at
this point? I could write code to pick up this error and insert the
module myself, but I was hoping for a way for the kernel to
automatically do it for me.
Thanks,
