 |
|
Hey!
my gentoo is all in all running well but the output of lsmod (column "Used by") is always -2
I tried to add a module and just wanted to know if it was successful
So it looks like this:
| Code: |
ronny-reiner-rambo royalts # lsmod
Module Size Used by
bnep 10158 -2
fuse 64957 -2
iwldvm 128219 -2
mac80211 406033 -2
rts_pstor 403035 -2
iwlwifi 70969 -2
atl1c 32017 -2
cfg80211 176158 -2
aesni_intel 40006 -2
aes_x86_64 7244 -2
ablk_helper 1701 -2
cryptd 7227 -2
|
by the way: after command
| Code: | | modprobe bluetooth.ko |
there was no error but the module wasn't listed in lsmod
I use Kernel 3.6.11-gentoo |

Royal_ts,
I've never seen a -2 with lsmod 
Out of curiosity, what's the output of cat /proc/modules 
You might want to try emerging sys-apps/kmod and/or revdep-rebuild to see if there's any difference if the cat of modules looks OK.

the ouput of cat /proc/modules was
| Code: |
bnep 10158 - - Live 0xffffffffa000b000
fuse 64957 - - Live 0xffffffffa0052000
iwldvm 128219 - - Live 0xffffffffa0196000
mac80211 406033 - - Live 0xffffffffa0116000
iwlwifi 70969 - - Live 0xffffffffa002b000
rts_pstor 403035 - - Live 0xffffffffa00b2000 (C)
cfg80211 176158 - - Live 0xffffffffa0085000
atl1c 32017 - - Live 0xffffffffa0069000
aesni_intel 40006 - - Live 0xffffffffa0047000
aes_x86_64 7244 - - Live 0xffffffffa0028000
ablk_helper 1701 - - Live 0xffffffffa0018000
cryptd 7227 - - Live 0xffffffffa0000000
|
and a emerge of kmod and revdep-rebuild didn't solve the problem |

| For me, cat /proc/modules shows a usage count in the first column after size, but for you, it shows a -. What is the output of emerge --info? Have you set any kernel hardening options? |

Royal_ts,
I suspect you have module unloading off in your kernel, so the kernel has no need to track if modules are in use or not.
What does | Code: | | grep MODULE_UNLOAD /usr/src/linux |
show ?

I can't see something unusual there
@NeddySeagoon
the output of grep MODULE_UNLOAD /usr/src/linux tells me
grep: /usr/src/linux: Is a directory
I expect u are intereted in something other. unfortunately i don't know the command for printing out all modules.
but in my Kernel Configuration i searched for unload and i found this:
| Code: | | Symbol: MODULE_UNLOAD [=n] |
and
| Code: | | Symbol: MODULE_FORCE_UNLOAD [=n] |

Royal_ts,
Well caught - you showed the right thing anyway.
| Code: | | Symbol: MODULE_UNLOAD [=n] |
tells that | Code: | | modprobe -r <module_name> |
will not work on your system.
The kernel therefore has no need to keep track of how many users a modules has to prevent you from unloading a module that is in use.
If you want to see number of users and so on in lsmod, rebuild your kernel with Module Unloading enabled.
What you have now is not wrong - its a user option.
| Code: | | MODULE_FORCE_UNLOAD [=n] |
is a good thing. It prevents you from forcefully unloading modules that are in use.
This can be a very bad thing for the devices using the modules.
