The
MODULE_DEPEND()
macro sets a dependency on another kernel module with name
moddepend,
which has registered
its version with
MODULE_VERSION().
The
MODULE_DEPEND()
macro provides hints to the kernel
loader(8)
and to the kernel linker to ensure that the named dependency is loaded
prior to the existing module.
It does not change or dictate the order in which modules are
initialized at runtime.
Three versions must be specified for
moddepend:
|
| minversion
|
| |
The minimum version on which the current module can depend.
|
| maxversion
|
| |
The maximum version on which the current module can depend.
|
| prefversion
|
| |
The preferred version on which the current module can depend.
