Modules using these symbols are required to explicitly import the namespace. This patch was generated with the following steps and serves as a reference to use the symbol namespace feature: 1) Define DEFAULT_SYMBOL_NAMESPACE in the corresponding Makefile 2) make (see warnings during modpost about missing imports) 3) make nsdeps Instead of a DEFAULT_SYMBOL_NAMESPACE definition, the EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS variants can be used to explicitly specify the namespace. The advantage of the method used here is that newly added symbols are automatically exported and existing ones are exported without touching their respective EXPORT_SYMBOL macro expansion.
So what is USB_STORAGE here? It isn't a C string, so where does it come from? To me using a C string would seem like the nicer interface vs a random cpp symbol that gets injected somewhere.
