http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10770
Summary: many modules lacking description: field in modinfo
Product: Documentation
Version: unspecified
KernelVersion: 2.6
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Tree: Mainline
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P1
Component: man-pages
AssignedTo: documentation_man-pages-ztI5WcYan/[email protected]
ReportedBy: devzero-S0/[email protected]
Problem Description:
more than once i wanted to check "what is this module for?" - but modinfo didn't give any information about that.
no kernel source available at the customer machine.....and no internet available in the serverroom...
i checked this and i tested modules (suse default install) for description:
availability.
2145 modules tested
1741 modules have the description field
404 modules missing the description field
what about making the description field mandatory for modules and warn about that on load or at compile time ?
that would make sure that each module get`s one sooner or later....
