[PATCH v2 1/2] module: Add a new helper delete_module()

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

 



Introduce a new helper function, delete_module(), designed to delete kernel
modules from locations outside of the `kernel/module` directory.

No functional change.
