A driver can be loaded as a dynamic module or a built-in module. In commit 681a67288655 ("usertools: check if module is loaded before binding"), script only checks modules in /sys/module/.
However, for built-in kernel driver, it only shows up in /sys/module/, if it has a version or at least one parameter. So add check for modules in /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.builtin.

Check file existence before reading. v3: - Add built-in module list in loaded_modules for checking instead of removing error check. v2: - fix git commit description style in commit log - fix typo spelling --- usertools/dpdk-devbind.py | 13 ++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/usertools/dpdk-devbind.py b/usertools/dpdk-devbind.py index 054ad2e1c..4bc0b6207 100755 --- a/usertools/dpdk-devbind.py +++ b/usertools/dpdk-devbind.py @@ -7,6 +7,7 @@ import os import subprocess import argparse +import platform from glob import glob from os.path import exists, basename @@ -107,7 +108,17 @@ def module_is_loaded(module): loaded_modules = sysfs_mods - return module in sysfs_mods + # add built-in modules as loaded + release = platform.uname().release + filename = os.path.join("/lib/modules/", release, "modules.builtin") + if os.path.exists(filename): + try: + with open(filename) as f: + loaded_modules += [os.path.splitext(os.path.basename(mod))[0] for mod in f] + except IOError: + print("Warning: cannot read list of built-in kernel modules") + + return module in loaded_modules def check_modules(): -- 2.14.4
