Re: Exporting Kernel Symbols

[shesha bhushan]

OK I got this working. It was a very silly thing.
linux/fs/read_write.c had not included <linux/module.h> But the kernel 
compilation was not complaining about the useage of EXPORT_SYMBOL without 
including <linux/module.
Now its working fine.

Thanks
