Coding C: Warning: [...] is COMMON symbol

Hi,

if you’re writing a kernel module and get the following error:

*** Warning: "symbol_name" [/path/to/module] is COMMON symbol

Than its possible that you simply forgot to mark it as static. Thanks for this fix goes to Brad Aisa from the website KernelTrap.

Bye, Sven
