The wrong message given by kldload

mirnshi

I compile a module, and use kldload command to load the module, but kldload says: "can't load ./xxx.ko: No such file or directory". It is weird.

What's wrong? The module is there, kldload can't see it?

I constructed a module and declared sysctl varible. If I use SYSCTL_DECL instead of SYSCTL_NODE, kldload will print that message.
In this case, the parent node -- ss is not exist, the sysctl variable can't be registered, so kldload gets ENOENT from the inner functions.

The inner functions should return other errno except ENOENT.  ENOENT will confuse the programmer.
