Hello kernel experts,
I have a few questions about the priority of kernel drivers and third party drivers.
If I install a third party vendor driver, which has the same module name as kernel provides, for example, Qlogic driver has the same module name as third party driver(qla2xxx).
The questions are:
Q1. Which driver has higher priority and which driver will be used? will there any be problems?
Q2. How to control which driver the os will use?
Q3. What if the updated kernel installed and provied higher driver version than third party? Which one will be used then?
I think third party drivers have more precedence that kernel drivers refer to below Red Hat KB, but I'm not sure which one will be used when the kernel has updated.
Your advice will be much appriciated.
Thank you
Best regards,
hakyong
