From: Mark Huang Date: Fri, 29 Sep 2006 08:59:34 +0000 (-0700) Subject: [PATCH] module_subsys: initialize earlier X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d10be6d1bdb0c901b78244872de3cc1c1b6c3fb2;p=linux-beck.git [PATCH] module_subsys: initialize earlier Initialize module_subsys earlier (or at least earlier than devices) since it could be used very early in the boot process if kmod loads a module before the device initcalls. Otherwise, kmod will crash in kernel/module.c:mod_sysfs_setup() since the kset in module_subsys is not initialized yet. I only noticed this problem because occasionally, kmod loads the modules for my SCSI and Ethernet adapters very early, during the boot process itself. I don't quite understand why it loads them sometimes and doesn't load them other times. Or who is telling kmod to do so. Can someone explain?
