[PATCH] [RFC] ARM: mm: add configuration for the size of module space

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I run out of module space because I have several big driver modules.
I know I can strip the modules to decrease size but I need debug info now.

The default size of module is 16MB and the size is statically 
defined in the header file. But a description for the module space 
size tell that it can be configurable at most 32MB.

I have changed the module space size to 18MB and tested my platform.
It have been looking good.

I am not sure my patch is proper solution.
Anyway, could I configure the module space size?
