Hi All,
I am using two Dual BSD/GPL drivers for a stack development project.
Both modules use the MODULE_LICENSE("Dual BSD/GPL "). One of the
drivers depends on the other. When the modules gets loaded after
issuing insmod command , I see a tainted message in the kernel output
from the module that is calling the (function x) exported by other
module that a exported (function x ) has no version.
How do I fix this? - there is a requirement that no tainted messages
appear.
Thanks

Re: no version for "function x" found: kernel tainted
Its client who has problem client specifically instruecte that there
shouldn't be any kernel tainted message.
another reason i want to solve this problem is for my knowledge
purpose i am still a beginner as far as linux platform is concern.
I really dont know what will be impact if i am ignoring this for now .
if you can tell me the reason why and when this kind of tainted
message comes it will help me to understansd what's wrong i am doing ,
and how and what need to be done for removing this message i will be
very thankfull to you.
