4 * Protect index against OOM
6 * Implement actions in kmod tool like 'insert', 'remove', 'info', etc
9 - when fake delete_module() succeeds, remove its entry from /sys/module
11 * Stop using system() inside the library and use fork + exec instead
13 * config: configs that do not need to be matched by fnmatch() could be using a
14 vector instead of a list. This way we could search in it by calling
17 * review API, maybe unify all of these getters:
18 - kmod_module_version_get_symbol()
19 - kmod_module_version_get_crc()
20 - kmod_module_symbol_get_symbol()
21 - kmod_module_symbol_get_crc()
22 - kmod_module_dependency_symbol_get_symbol()
23 - kmod_module_dependency_symbol_get_crc()
24 - kmod_module_versions_free_list()
25 - kmod_module_symbols_free_list()
26 - kmod_module_dependency_symbols_free_list()
28 * index: drop the "open(), seek(), read()" implementation and use another one
29 with mmap(). When lookup() is called and the file is not mmaped, mmap it.
31 * Finish removal of "rmmod -w" when it's gone from kernel.
33 * Deprecate not using KMOD_REMOVE_NOWAIT on libkmod.
35 Things to be added/removed in kernel (check what is really needed):
36 ===================================================================
38 * list of currently loaded modules
39 - readdir() in /sys/modules: dir without a 'initstate' file means the
42 * kill /proc/modules ?
43 - Unlikely, given other tools might depend on it
47 Things that are different from module-init-tools on purpose (!TODO)
48 ===================================================================
53 * 'modprobe -l' was marked as deprecated and does not exist anymore
55 * 'modprobe -t' is gone, together with 'modprobe -l'
57 * there's and additional '--remove-dependencies' flags to modprobe so we
58 can remove modules depending on that one
60 * modprobe doesn't parse configuration files with names not ending in
61 '.alias' or '.conf'. modprobe used to warn about these files.
63 * modprobe doesn't parse 'config' and 'include' commands in configuration
66 * modprobe from m-i-t does not honour softdeps for install commands. E.g.:
69 install bli "echo bli"
70 install bla "echo bla"
73 With m-i-t, the output of 'modprobe --show-depends bla' will be:
80 * kmod doesn't dump the configuration as is in the config files. Instead it
81 dumps the configuration as it was parsed. Therefore, comments and file names
82 are not dumped, but on the good side we know what the exact configuration
83 kmod is using. We did this because if we only want to know the entire content
84 of configuration files, it's enough to use find(1) in modprobe.d directories
89 * there's no 'depmod -m' option: legacy modules.*map files are gone
94 * information is parsed from /sys instead of /proc/modules
