[LU-5829] too many EXPORT_SYMBOL in code

• Type: Bug

• Severity: 3
• Assignee: Cliff White (Inactive)

Lustre currently exports 1809 symbols, compared to 25395 symbols for the whole linux kernel.

A lot of these symbols don't need to be exported at all because they are only used in the module they belong to.
