I'm trying to export a symbol (journal_begin/end) from
fs/reiserfs/journal.c. To export the symbols I added to the Makefile:
export-objs := journal.o
There is also a file fs/jbd/journal.c which exports symbols.
It seems that the two journal.ver files in include/modules/*.ver get
clobbered.
Short of renaming files, is there a good solution for this?
Thanks!

It is a "feature" of the module symbol versioning that all objects
which export symbols must have globally unique basenames. Stupid, I
know, and it will disappear in 2.5. In the meantime, create
fs/reiserfs/reiserfs_ksyms.c and export the symbols in there. See
kernel/ksyms.c for an example.

Yes, you can add the EXPORT_SYMBOL to a different source file --- you
don't have to do the export from the same file which defines the
symbol. linux/kernel/ksyms.c contains exports from all over the rest
of the kernel, for example. If you pick a reiserfs source file which
already exports symbols and add your exports there, I _think_ it
should work OK.
