IPCF v4.10 kernel sample driver dependency issue

[hittzt]

Hi,

I noticed that IPCF v4.10 driver has been released for a period of time, and I tried to compile the sample, i.e, ipc-shm-sample.ko and ipc-shm-dev.ko, for native linux. But unfortunatly, compilation failed, the reason is that, the ipc-shm-sample.ko wrongly depends on ipc-shm-xen.ko, as the following line in ipc-shm-sample.mod.c:

MODULE_INFO(depends, "ipc-shm-xen");

and the right dependency should be: MODULE_INFO(depends, "ipc-shm-dev");

So could you please help to check the issue?

Thanks,

Zhantao

Hi, @hittzt 

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, I noticed it from the code

But I tested it on my local RDB3, based on BSP42, I do not see errors/warning prints while testing with IPCF sample

So it seems not impact the module loading sequence.

Hello, @hittzt 

Thanks a lot for your post.

I will check it later, I undertand that you were building it manually instead of Yocto, right?

Hi @chenyin_h,

To make it clear, it should not say "compilation failed" in my original description, acctually, the compilation passed, but the dependency of ipc-shm-sample.ko is wrong.

And yes, I build it with yocto project.

Thanks,
