Hello,
I encountered 'Invalid format error' while inserting the iio_dummy_evgen module.

I ran:
sudo insmod drivers/iio/dummy/iio_dummy_evgen.ko
I got:
insmod: ERROR: could not insert module
drivers/iio/dummy/iio_dummy_evgen.ko: Invalid module format
dmesg output after insmod:
[36856.453312] iio_dummy_evgen: no symbol version for module_layout
What I learned so far:
The error arises because the kernel booted in and the one the driver
belongs to are different.
A post on Google says this is because the vermagic strings don't match.
( 'modinfo' gives different vermagic strings for drivers in different kernels)
So I tried copying my running kernel's Makefile into the driver's
Makefile. But the error persists.
I also tried:
export KBUILD_SRC=<location of the running kernel's source>
But that didn't help either.
Any ideas?
thanks,
sayli
