when I modprobe sctp_probe, it failed with "FATAL: ". I found that
sctp should load before sctp_probe register jprobe. So I add a
sctp_setup_jprobe for loading 'sctp' when first failed to register
jprobe, just do this similar to dccp_probe.

v2: add MODULE_SOFTDEP and check of request_module, as suggested by Neil

You don't need to create your own function for this, you can collapse it down to
a call to try_then_request_module(regitser_jprobe(...), "sctp");
Neil

Hi Neil,

I try to use try_then_request_module(!regitser_jprobe(...), "sctp"); I found that if
I used this, I couldn't get the ture value which returned by register_jprobe(). Is the
returned value not important? The problem("if sctp.ko doesn't exist") you had pointed out
is exist as well.

Regards.
Wang

Not sure I follow.  There appear to be lots of examples in the kernel where

I do this just like the dccp/probe.c do. So I think it can be an example.

exactly what you are trying to do is done.  try_then_request_module calls your
requested method, and if it returns non-zero, calls request_module, then calls

No actually. Just look the definition:
#define try_then_request_module(x, mod...) \
         ((x) ?: (__request_module(true, mod), (x)))
if x return non-zero, it will return the value, not call request_module.

your requested method again, returning the final result.  What problem are you
running into?
Neil


So I only can use it like this:
try_then_request_module(!regitser_jprobe(...), "sctp");

when register_jprobe return 0 indicates success, I get the value is 1. It is OK.

when register_jprobe is non-zero indicates failed, then calls request_module,
and last calls register_jprobe. Here,
1)maybe it will failed return non-zero, what I get the value is !register_jprobe
is 0 with losing the value.
2)request_module failed with the sctp is not exist, it will do the register_jprobe
as well.

Is there I am wrong somewhere?

Regards.
Wang
