Date: Thu, 2 Jan 2014 19:04:13 +0900 Message-ID: <002001cf07a1$fd4bdc10$f7e39430$@lge.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Language: ko Sender: owner-linux-mm@kvack.org List-ID: To: Russell King , linux-mm@kvack.org, linux-arm-kernel Cc: HyoJun Im Hi, I run out of module space because I have several big driver modules. I know I can strip the modules to decrease size but I need debug info now. The default size of module is 16MB and the size is statically defined in the header file. But a description for the module space size tells that it can be configurable at most 32MB. I have changed the module space size to 18MB and tested my platform. It has been looking good. I am not sure my patch is proper solution. Anyway, could I configure the module space size? Or could I place the modules into vmalloc area?
