Dynamically loading a module
Hi there:
Thanks for clicking in first. I have a question here. I have a module that needs to be dynamically loaded when another piece of code needs it at runtime. I know that I will have to make a soname file before I can use it dynamically. My question is what commad I should use to make module.c into a module.so.
Thank you very much!

HI,
I am dynamically loading shared libraries using shl_load(). There are multiple processes (50 or more) which loads the same shared library. Will Unix internally load only one copy of the shared library or it will load multiple copies.
Can I have memory issues if this is done.
Thanks,... (1 Reply)

vmsock
VMSOCK(9) Open VM Tools VMSOCK(9)
NAME
vmsock - vmware kernel module
SYNOPSIS
modprobe vmsock
DESCRIPTION
This is a Linux kernel device driver module that provides datagram and stream socket interfaces to the underlying VMCI device. The module
implements a Linux socket family and one of the files in the module, vmci_sockets.h, provides the various constants and functions necessary
to create and, in the case of streams, connect sockets.
When the module is loaded, /dev/vsock will be created with restricted permissions. Access to /dev/vsock is required to use VMCI sockets, so
it's recommended that permissions be relaxed via a udev policy file. For reference, the VMware Tools init script changes the permissions of
/dev/vsock to 666.
Normally, issuing a socket(2) system call will automatically load the kernel module providing that socket family, but as the vsock module
is out-of-tree, there is no in-tree socket family reservation for VMCI sockets. Before sockets are created, userspace applications must
call VMCISock_GetAFValue (defined in vmci_sockets.h) which will instruct the vsock module to dynamically acquire a socket family reserva-
tion from the kernel. This function is implemented via ioctl(2) into the vsock module, so the vsock module must be manually loaded by the
user (perhaps using /etc/modules).
The vmci_sockets.h header should be installed in a system-wide location. We recommend /usr/include/vmci.
The vsock module depends on symbols from the vmci module, and so the vmci module must be loaded first.
OPTIONS
vmsock has no options.
