I wouldn't think so - the intent of EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL is to mark symbols that make it obvious that a module was derived from the Linux kernel, as opposed to some sort of generic driver that was just ported to a new interface. (It's not foolproof, it's more of a warning to developers.) If you think of it this way, memcpy is a function defined in the C standard, there's absolutely nothing Linux-specific about using it. Of course, IANAL; and you should probably grab some more opinions on the matter. -- Calvin Walton <calvin.walton@xxxxxxxxx> -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
