Hi,
I have two kernel modules that need to talk over an API, and right now, they are statically linked together, but I am looking for a better way to separate them and share an API between them.
A few years ago, I did the HDA component: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tree/sou...
Using the component API: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tree/inc...
Are there other ways for a module to wait for another module to load and use its API? Is there a default way to do that?
Yes, just call a function in that other module and it will be loaded properly before your module can call it. That's how all in-kernel apis work. thanks, greg k-h
