From: Johannes Berg <[email protected]> sparse complains about any __ksymtab symbols with the following:
warning: symbol '__ksymtab_...' was not declared. Should it be static? due to Andi's patch making it non-static. Mollify sparse by declaring the symbol extern, otherwise we get drowned in sparse warnings for anything that uses EXPORT_SYMBOL in the sources, making it easy to miss real warnings.
