- There is a script to sign modules in kernel tree, but we should be able to
sign modules by ourselves
-* Remove duplicate symbols in libkmod and tools
- - Some functions were added both in libkmod and tools like depmod since they
- couldn't be easily exported. Now we could be sharing there more easily
- through libkmod-internal, or by creating a shared/ dir in which to put
- these functions
-
* Stop using NOFAIL() and fatal()
* Protect index against OOM
* testsuite:
- when fake delete_module() succeeds, remove its entry from /sys/module
+ - improve coverage (use --enable-coverage to check the current state)
* Stop using system() inside the library and use fork + exec instead
vector instead of a list. This way we could search in it by calling
bsearch().
+* config: implement the config handling in shared/ and use it in both depmod
+and libkmod
+
* review API, maybe unify all of these getters:
- kmod_module_version_get_symbol()
- kmod_module_version_get_crc()
* index: drop the "open(), seek(), read()" implementation and use another one
with mmap(). When lookup() is called and the file is not mmaped, mmap it.
+ Another possibility is to drop the mmap implementation relying on VFS to have
+ the pages cached. This would simplify the interface exported by libkmod.
+ Measure performance before deciding.
