CONFIG_MODULE_ALLOW_MISSING_NAMESPACE_IMPORTS: Allow loading of modules with missing namespace imports

General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_MODULE_ALLOW_MISSING_NAMESPACE_IMPORTS has multiple definitions:

Allow loading of modules with missing namespace imports found in kernel/module/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_MODULE_ALLOW_MISSING_NAMESPACE_IMPORTS:

• prompt: Allow loading of modules with missing namespace imports
• type: bool
• depends on: (none)
• defined in kernel/module/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 6.0–6.13, 6.14-rc+HEAD

Help text

Symbols exported with EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS*() are considered exported in a namespace. A module that makes use of a symbol exported with such a namespace is required to import the namespace via MODULE_IMPORT_NS(""). There is no technical reason to enforce correct namespace imports, but it creates consistency between symbols defining namespaces and users importing namespaces they make use of. This option relaxes this requirement and lifts the enforcement when loading a module.

If unsure, say N.
