From b9ed847b5ae69e0f2e685f9d53e2dd94c0db751e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Quentin Perret Date: Tue, 1 Dec 2020 16:52:22 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] modpost: turn static exports into error Using EXPORT_SYMBOL*() on static functions is fundamentally wrong. Modpost currently reports that as a warning, but clearly this is not a pattern we should allow, and all in-tree occurences should have been fixed by now. So, promote the warn() message to error() to make sure this never happens again.
