My, my. Glad I happened to stumble across this thread instead
of removing the linux-kernel inbox...
Note that for the record, I don't think calling request_module
from init_module is a good idea. I know that the one network
driver is doing it, but I have continually failed to see how
what he is doing is better than having depmod and modprobe do
the dependancies and loading.
However, I've tried out the suggestion elsewhere and done some
flocking in insmod. Would the person who was having the problem
prompting the semaphore in the first place, whose address I've
lost, try out
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/alphabits/modutils/modutils-2.1.107.tar.gz
a shot and see if it works for you?
