Subject: Faster, incremental depmod when adding modules?
Date: Sun, 21 Aug 2022 13:46:29 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <148c7e0e-3de9-e3ad-81a3-5444864e9bfe@gmail.com> (raw)

When installing 1 or more out-of-tree modules within
/lib/modules/$UNAME, is it possible to run depmod in an incremental
fashion - adding symbols from the new modules to modules.dep[.bin]
without re-scanning all of the other modules from that kernel version?

I've tried specifying the new module files, but that seems to create a
completely new modules.dep containing *only* the symbols from the new
modules (which obviously isn't very useful).
