I meant, the purpose of request_module is to handle dependencies from the
kernel : if we need a functionnality, we request it. It's the definition
of dependency.
But I understood the mechanism by reading some request_module examples.
In fact, we test the avalaibility of the functionnality before calling
the request_module function.
So the case described in my previous message would normally never
happen.
if (!functionnality_not_avalaible) {
module_request(functionnality)
if (!functionnality_not_avalaible)
goto error;
}
Sorry, so the discussion is closed : forget it :)
