How can I make a linux module load another module?

Question

I have the task to program one module to store some data and another module to control the first one, been able to load/unload it from the code.

I'm and kernel programming ignorant but i've tried hard to find the way to do this. Is there any function to do this?

Thank you very much in advance

Answer 1

Use request_module.

Answer 2

You usually wouldn't make one module load another, instead using the kernel's dependency system to load your prerequisites on demand. otherwise use request_module as suggested by Matias Valdenegro.
