FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE i386 (need nothing else than standard installation)
>Description:
1) If in a KLD module <sometning_mod>.ko the function
<sometning_mod>_modevent(struct module *module, int cmd, void *arg)
returns error at loading time (f.e. :
case MOD_LOAD :
if (...) {
error = ENXIO;
break;
}
), kldload(8) returns 0 (success !!!) and we have picture of the
following style:
% kldstat -v
Id Refs Address Size Name
...
30 1 0xc0921000 2000 <something_mod>.ko
Contains modules:
Id Name
instead of full absence of <something_mod>.ko here (as was in the
3.0-RELEASE).
Such strange object not contains syscall, realised in
<something_mod>.ko, and can be successfully removed by kldunload(8),
but what the reasons for its appearing at all ?!!
2) If in a KLD module <sometning_mod>.ko the same function
returns error at unloading time (f.e. :
case MOD_UNLOAD :
if (...) {
error = ETXTBSY;
break;
}
), kldunload(8) returns 1 (nonzero, this seems correct...),
<something_mod>.ko still appear in the kldstat output (
% kldstat -v
Id Refs Address Size Name
...
31 1 0xc0921000 2000 <something_mod>.ko
Contains modules:
Id Name
45 <something_mod>
), but syscall, which <something_mod> realises, already removed:
% /usr/share/examples/kld/syscall/test/test
Bad system call - core dumped
(test obtains 12 signal) !!!
>How-To-Repeat:
Play with /usr/share/examples/kld/syscall/module/syscall.c .
>Fix:
1) Don't know, at least because module_register_init() in
/sys/kern/kern_module.c of type void now.
2) ???
What are you think, described behaviour is a bug or a feature ?
