[PATCH -next] printk: Export match_devname_and_update_preferred_console()
Posted by Yu Liao 2 months, 3 weeks ago 
When building serial_base as a module, modpost fails with the following
error message:

  ERROR: modpost: "match_devname_and_update_preferred_console"
  [drivers/tty/serial/serial_base.ko] undefined!

Export the symbol to allow using it from modules.

It looks good. I have pushed the fix into printk/linux.git,
branch for-6.11-fixup. I am going to send a pull request
later this week.

I think the issue is with CONFIG_PRINTK is no set, and serial drivers
select SERIAL_CORE_CONSOLE? And when serial_base is a module, there is
no kernel console.

I replied earlier today to the lkp error report along those lines, but
please let me know if there is more to the issue than that.

Regards,

Tony

Sorry I gave wrong information above. The issue can be hit also with
CONFIG_PRINTK=y and serial_base as a loadable module.

Yes, this is my understanding. The problem has happened when serial_base
was built as a module. So exporting the symbol looks like the right fix.

Yes agreed.

And, Yu, thanks for fixing the issue!

printk: Export match_devname_and_update_preferred_console()

When building serial_base as a module, modpost fails with the following
error message:

  ERROR: modpost: "match_devname_and_update_preferred_console"
  [drivers/tty/serial/serial_base.ko] undefined!

Export the symbol to allow using it from modules.
