This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled module: wrapper for symbol name. to the linux-4.2.y-queue branch of the 4.2.y-ckt extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/linux.git/log/?h=linux-4.2.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 4.2.8-ckt5. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 4.2.y-ckt tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Kamal ---8<------------------------------------------------------------ From 368489b9a5842ba3ad012e66604715c8d6e57ee9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Date: Wed, 3 Feb 2016 16:55:26 +1030 Subject: module: wrapper for symbol name. commit 2e7bac536106236104e9e339531ff0fcdb7b8147 upstream. This trivial wrapper adds clarity and makes the following patch smaller.
