[RFC 00/11] CONFIG_KMOD removal

[RFC 00/11] CONFIG_KMOD removal

[Johannes Berg]

Some place with some code or conditional I just converted to use
CONFIG_MODULES, other places can invoke request_module unconditionally
because it compiles out when the kernel is not modular, and one place
(so far) converted to try_then_request_module.

Comments appreciated.

[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1045 bytes --]

... as preparation for removing it completely, make it an
invisible bool defaulting to yes.

Always compile request_module when the kernel allows modules.

[RFC 03/11] rework try_then_request_module to do less in non-modular kernels

[Johannes Berg]

[-- Attachment #1: config-kmod-try-then-rework.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 954 bytes --]

This reworks try_then_request_module to only invoke the "lookup"
function "x" once when the kernel is not modular.

[RFC 04/11] remove CONFIG_KMOD from drivers

Straight forward conversions to CONFIG_MODULE; many drivers
include <linux/kmod.h> conditionally and then don't have any
other conditional code so remove it from those.

[RFC 06/11] remove CONFIG_KMOD from fs

[Johannes Berg]

[-- Attachment #1: config-kmod-remove-fs.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2283 bytes --]

Just always compile the code when the kernel is modular.
load_nls could be converted to try_then_request_module
but would lose the printk in that case.

[RFC 07/11] remove CONFIG_KMOD from sound

[Johannes Berg]

[-- Attachment #1: config-kmod-remove-sound.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 5114 bytes --]

A bunch of things in alsa depend on CONFIG_KMOD,
use CONFIG_MODULES instead where the dependency
is needed at all.

[RFC 08/11] remove CONFIG_KMOD from net

[Johannes Berg]

[-- Attachment #1: config-kmod-remove-net.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 10532 bytes --]

Some code here depends on CONFIG_KMOD to not try to load
protocol modules or similar, replace by CONFIG_MODULES
where more than just request_module depends on CONFIG_KMOD
and and also use try_then_request_module in ebtables.

Eh, no. Not unless I also always compile in dev_load, which as of now
depends on CONFIG_MODULES. In fact, another hunk in this series makes it
a static inline when CONFIG_MODULES=n so that callers don't need to take
care of #ifdef'ing it.

Same here as with dev_load, unless it's actually ok to export static

Actually, would anyone object to removing the printk and just using

Applied 1, 2, 3, 5, 9, 10 and 11.  The others had comments.

I added a help comment to the KMOD Kconfig, pointing out that it is

What to? I took akpm's advice and rebased them against linux-next, a few
had minor conflicts. Nothing changed _much_, I only addressed the
comments and fixed those small conflicts.

I'll send the updated set.
