/proc/modules is core kernel functionality and I don't see how this
behaviour would differ from native.
Modules don't actually show up in /proc/modules until you load them.
This works for me.
quartz:~# modprobe deadline-iosched
quartz:~# cat /proc/modules
deadline_iosched 3671 0 - Live 0xf90e0000
nfsd 83866 11 - Live 0xf9098000
exportfs 3143 1 nfsd, Live 0xf8f08000
rtc_cmos 8147 0 - Live 0xf7c62000
rtc_core 14509 1 rtc_cmos, Live 0xf7c35000
rtc_lib 2428 1 rtc_core, Live 0xf7c04000
Ian.
root@paresh-hp:~# modprobe deadline-iosched
it is not showing the module after lsmod as in your case.
root@paresh-hp:~# rmmod deadline-iosched
ERROR: Module deadline_iosched does not exist in /proc/modules
(same for cfq-iosched)
root@paresh-hp:~# modprobe noop-iosched
FATAL: Module noop_iosched not found.
What could be the reason for this??
Anyways, if we modify the code, create a makefile, compile and load the module then there should not be any problem right??
Would it give an error saying that we are re-inserting an existing module??
