Every module that is deployed in the kernel is as usual represented through a descriptor, called struct module. Kernel maintains a list of module instances, with each representing a specific module in memory:
struct module { enum module_state state; /* Member of list of modules */ struct list_head list; /* Unique handle for this module */ char name[MODULE_NAME_LEN]; /* Sysfs stuff. */ struct module_kobject mkobj; struct module_attribute *modinfo_attrs; const char *version; const char *srcversion; struct kobject *holders_dir; /* Exported symbols */ const struct kernel_symbol *syms; const s32 *crcs; unsigned int num_syms; /* Kernel parameters. */ #ifdef CONFIG_SYSFS struct mutex param_lock; #endif struct kernel_param ...
