There are some cases where you cannot decide which module to load, because it is provided at run-time. In geom(8) I've something like this currently: static void load_module(void) { char name1[64], name2[64]; =20 snprintf(name1, sizeof(name1), "g_%s", class_name); snprintf(name2, sizeof(name2), "geom_%s", class_name); if (modfind(name1) < 0) { /* Not present in kernel, try loading it. */ if (kldload(name2) < 0 || modfind(name1) < 0) { if (errno !=3D EEXIST) { errx(EXIT_FAILURE, "%s module not available!", name2); } } } } Changing it to the version below doesn't really buy me anything: static void load_module(void) { char name1[64], name2[64]; =20 snprintf(name1, sizeof(name1), "g_%s", class_name); snprintf(name2, sizeof(name2), "geom_%s", class_name); if (!kld_isloaded(name1) && kld_load(name2) =3D=3D -1) err(1, "failed to load %s module", name2); } But changing it to the code below, or removing load_module entirely looks like improvement: static void load_module(void) { if (!kld_isloaded("g_%s", class_name) && kld_load("geom_%s", class_name) =3D=3D -1) { err(1, "failed to load geom_%s module", class_name); } } Yet another option is to reimplement kld_load(3) to: kld_load(const char *modname, const char *kldname); (and eventually remove kld_isloaded(3)). --=20 Pawel Jakub Dawidek http://www.wheel.pl pjd@FreeBSD.org http://www.FreeBSD.org FreeBSD committer Am I Evil?
