It is a request of one of our customers to merge our mptctl ioctl module
into our mptbase driver, so ioctls are always enabled when our
driver stack loads. Currently we have to provide a special service
script that is placed in /etc/init.d, that is auto loading mptctl.ko
at boot time. Our customer want to move away from using that script, so
having the ioclts aways enabled at boot time.
Here is a minimal patch that merges mptctl.c into mptbase.c.
This is done by merely having the mptctl_init and mptctl_exit entry
points called directly by mptbase, from mptbase_init and mptbase_exit.
The problem I'm facing is we would like to keep the mptbase.ko module
named the same as mptbase.ko, instead of mptbase_mod.ko, as I have done
in this patch.
Can someone help me with this. How do you link several c files
into a single KO, meaning mptbase.o + mptctl.o = mptbase.ko.
Is there a way to have the KO named the same as one of the original c
files?
I was tyring to get some hints from
