Revision 0b36f2bd28d040acedb52f4327eb2441afe4f514 authored by Takashi Iwai on 18 August 2017, 08:55:10 UTC, committed by Takashi Iwai on 18 August 2017, 08:59:02 UTC
The commit d42fe63d5839 ("ALSA: emu10k1: Get rid of set_fs() usage")
converted the user-space copy hack with set_fs() to the direct
memcpy(), but one place was forgotten.  This resulted in the error
from snd_emu10k1_init_efx(), eventually failed to load the driver.
Fix the missing piece.

Debugging Modules after 2.6.3
-----------------------------

In almost all distributions, the kernel asks for modules which don't
exist, such as "net-pf-10" or whatever.  Changing "modprobe -q" to
"succeed" in this case is hacky and breaks some setups, and also we
want to know if it failed for the fallback code for old aliases in
fs/char_dev.c, for example.

In the past a debugging message which would fill people's logs was
emitted.  This debugging message has been removed.  The correct way
of debugging module problems is something like this:

echo '#! /bin/sh' > /tmp/modprobe
echo 'echo "$@" >> /tmp/modprobe.log' >> /tmp/modprobe
echo 'exec /sbin/modprobe "$@"' >> /tmp/modprobe
chmod a+x /tmp/modprobe
echo /tmp/modprobe > /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe

Note that the above applies only when the *kernel* is requesting
that the module be loaded -- it won't have any effect if that module
is being loaded explicitly using "modprobe" from userspace.
