Subject: [PATCH v2 05/10] module: add config option MODULE_ALLOW_MISSING_NAMESPACE_IMPORTS
Date: Tue, 13 Aug 2019 13:17:02 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190813121733.52480-6-maennich@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190813121733.52480-1-maennich@google.com>
If MODULE_ALLOW_MISSING_NAMESPACE_IMPORTS is enabled (default=n), the
requirement for modules to import all namespaces that are used by
the module is relaxed.
Enabling this option effectively allows (invalid) modules to be loaded
while only a warning is emitted.
Disabling this option keeps the enforcement at module loading time and
loading is denied if the module's imports are not satisfactory.

+ Symbols exported with EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS*() are considered exported in
+ a namespace. A module that makes use of a symbol exported with such a
+ namespace is required to import the namespace via MODULE_IMPORT_NS().
+ This option relaxes this requirement when loading a module. While

+ importing namespaces they make use of.
