Hi,

Linux has this feature where module->init() is freed for some drivers
once insmod modprobe finishes. I want to prevent this from happening.
For this I ifed out the following lines from the code for my
particular module from module.c:-

if  !(MODULE_IS_MINE())
{
               unwind_remove_table(mod->unwind_info, 1);
                printk ("Freeing for module %s.\n", mod->name);
                module_free(mod, mod->module_init);
                mod->module_init = NULL;
                mod->init_size = 0;
                mod->init_text_size = 0;
}

After I do this, the mod->init of my code now points to the next
module which is loaded during system boot. Does anyone have any ideas
how do I go about this i.e. keep my mod->init intact?

Regards,
Asim
