From 187013f7ce107791c0ea891e63188d699727224a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jo-Philipp Wich Date: Sat, 28 Sep 2013 16:25:47 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] kmodloader: use the name of the module struct when unloading modules The module .ko file might be called differently than the name used by the kernel internally, e.g. "nls_iso8859-1.ko" is called "nls_iso8859_1" in lsmmod. The module removal syscall expects the latter as well. After this change, "rmmod" supports unloading the module even if the user gives the file name spelling instead of the kernel internal one, so that e.g. "rmmod nls_iso8859-1.ko" and "rmmod nls_iso8859_1" will both succeed. --- kmodloader.c | 6 +++--- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/kmodloader.c b/kmodloader.c index dee4b7c..417d121 100644 --- a/kmodloader.c +++ b/kmodloader.c @@ -553,13 +553,13 @@ static int main_rmmod(int argc, char **argv) LOG("module is not loaded\n"); return -1; } - free_modules(); - - ret = syscall(__NR_delete_module, name, 0); + ret = syscall(__NR_delete_module, m->name, 0); if (ret) LOG("unloading the module failed\n"); + free_modules(); + return ret; } -- 2.25.1
