Re: Calling driver functions from kernel space

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

 



EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(your func);
Then this function can be called outside.

For the second question, does this one work?

/* Search for module by name: must hold module_mutex. */
struct module *find_module(const char *name)

It's in kernel/module.c and has been exported.
