I agree that we would need to consult Rusty for the module and EXPORT_SYMBOL questions. But due to the intersection of hot topics (live patching, bypassing EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL) I think it has the potential of becoming a "thread-from-hell". So my feeling is that we (livepatch team) should figure out whether we really want it before asking for it. -- Josh -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe live-patching" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
