That doesn't seem right. The pvrusb2 module should reference that symbol like any other. There is no special treatment of it within pvrusb2 - so why is that requiring special treatment here? Is it possible that dvb_module_probe and dvb_module_release are not exported? (Or that there are two corresponding different exported symbol names that pvrusb2 should be using instead?) -Mike On Tue, 17 Jan 2023, Arnd Bergmann wrote: > From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> > > Now that DVB_CORE can be a loadable module, pvrusb2 can run into > a link error: > > ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: dvb_module_probe > >>> referenced by pvrusb2-devattr.c > >>> drivers/media/usb/pvrusb2/pvrusb2-devattr.o:(pvr2_lgdt3306a_attach) in archive vmlinux.a > ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: dvb_module_release > >>> referenced by pvrusb2-devattr.c > >>> drivers/media/usb/pvrusb2/pvrusb2-devattr.o:(pvr2_dual_fe_attach) in archive vmlinux.a > > Refine the Kconfig dependencies to avoid this case. > > Fixes: 7655c342dbc4 ("media: Kconfig: Make DVB_CORE=m possible when MEDIA_SUPPORT=y") > Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> > --- > drivers/media/usb/pvrusb2/Kconfig | 1 + > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) > > diff --git a/drivers/media/usb/pvrusb2/Kconfig b/drivers/media/usb/pvrusb2/Kconfig > index f2b64e49c5a2..e02a25d2d029 100644 > --- a/drivers/media/usb/pvrusb2/Kconfig > +++ b/drivers/media/usb/pvrusb2/Kconfig > @@ -37,6 +37,7 @@ config VIDEO_PVRUSB2_DVB > bool "pvrusb2 ATSC/DVB support" > default y > depends on VIDEO_PVRUSB2 && DVB_CORE > + depends on VIDEO_PVRUSB2=m || DVB_CORE=y > select DVB_LGDT330X if MEDIA_SUBDRV_AUTOSELECT > select DVB_S5H1409 if MEDIA_SUBDRV_AUTOSELECT > select DVB_S5H1411 if MEDIA_SUBDRV_AUTOSELECT >
