From 9ca8dbcc65cfc63d6f5ef3312a33184e1d726e00 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yunhong Jiang Date: Tue, 4 Aug 2015 12:17:53 -0700 Subject: Add the rt linux 4.1.3-rt3 as base Import the rt linux 4.1.3-rt3 as OPNFV kvm base. It's from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-rt-devel.git linux-4.1.y-rt and the base is: commit 0917f823c59692d751951bf5ea699a2d1e2f26a2 Author: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior Date: Sat Jul 25 12:13:34 2015 +0200 Prepare v4.1.3-rt3 Signed-off-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior We lose all the git history this way and it's not good. We should apply another opnfv project repo in future.

Changing "modprobe -q" to +"succeed" in this case is hacky and breaks some setups, and also we +want to know if it failed for the fallback code for old aliases in +fs/char_dev.c, for example. + +In the past a debugging message which would fill people's logs was +emitted. This debugging message has been removed. The correct way +of debugging module problems is something like this: + +echo '#! /bin/sh' > /tmp/modprobe +echo 'echo "$@" >> /tmp/modprobe.log' >> /tmp/modprobe +echo 'exec /sbin/modprobe "$@"' >> /tmp/modprobe +chmod a+x /tmp/modprobe +echo /tmp/modprobe > /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe + +Note that the above applies only when the *kernel* is requesting +that the module be loaded -- it won't have any effect if that module +is being loaded explicitly using "modprobe" from userspace. -- cgit 1.2.3-korg
