[LEDE-DEV] [PATCH 2/2] generic: keep module aliases inside .modinfo

2017-01-11 Thread Yousong Zhou
It seems module aliases are actually essential info. E.g. other modules may call xt_request_find_match(NFPROTO_IPV{4,6}, "hashlimit", 1) and the kernel will request user mode modprobe helper for ipt_hashlimit and ip6t_hashlimit respectively which are aliases of xt_hashlimit.ko Compile-tested for
