in the linux, lsmod lists a lot of modules. but how can we find where those module loaded from.
for some modules,linux command “modprobe -l” shows a path but some are not.

i also tried “find” and “locate”. both of them lists all kind of versions
locate fake /svf/SVDrv/kernel/linux/.fake.ko.cmd /svf/SVDrv/kernel/linux/.fake.mod.o.cmd /svf/SVDrv/kernel/linux/.fake.o.cmd /svf/SVDrv/kernel/linux/fake.ko /svf/SVDrv/kernel/linux/fake.mod.o /svf/SVDrv/kernel/linux/fake.o /svf/SVDrv.03.11.2014.16.00/kernel/linux/.fake.ko.cmd /svf/SVDrv.03.11.2014.16.00/kernel/linux/.fake.mod.o.cmd /svf/SVDrv.03.11.2014.16.00/kernel/linux/.fake.o.cmd /svf/SVDrv.03.11.2014.16.00/kernel/linux/fake.ko /svf/SVDrv.03.11.2014.16.00/kernel/linux/fake.mod.o /svf/SVDrv.03.11.2014.16.00/kernel/linux/fake.o /svf/SVDrv.04.29.2014.17.39/kernel/linux/.fake.ko.cmd /svf/SVDrv.04.29.2014.17.39/kernel/linux/.fake.mod.o.cmd /svf/SVDrv.04.29.2014.17.39/kernel/linux/.fake.o.cmd /svf/SVDrv.04.29.2014.17.39/kernel/linux/fake.ko /svf/SVDrv.04.29.2014.17.39/kernel/linux/fake.mod.o /svf/SVDrv.04.29.2014.17.39/kernel/linux/fake.o /svf/SVDrv.05.05.2014.11.25/kernel/linux/.fake.ko.cmd /svf/SVDrv.05.05.2014.11.25/kernel/linux/.fake.mod.o.cmd /svf/SVDrv.05.05.2014.11.25/kernel/linux/.fake.o.cmd /svf/SVDrv.05.05.2014.11.25/kernel/linux/fake.ko /svf/SVDrv.05.05.2014.11.25/kernel/linux/fake.mod.o /svf/SVDrv.05.05.2014.11.25/kernel/linux/fake.o /svf/SVDrv.05.05.2014.17.43/kernel/linux/.fake.ko.cmd /svf/SVDrv.05.05.2014.17.43/kernel/linux/.fake.mod.o.cmd /svf/SVDrv.05.05.2014.17.43/kernel/linux/.fake.o.cmd /svf/SVDrv.05.05.2014.17.43/kernel/linux/fake.ko /svf/SVDrv.05.05.2014.17.43/kernel/linux/fake.mod.o /svf/SVDrv.05.05.2014.17.43/kernel/linux/fake.o /svf/SVDrv.05.07.2014.14.59/kernel/linux/.fake.ko.cmd /svf/SVDrv.05.07.2014.14.59/kernel/linux/.fake.mod.o.cmd /svf/SVDrv.05.07.2014.14.59/kernel/linux/.fake.o.cmd /svf/SVDrv.05.07.2014.14.59/kernel/linux/fake.ko /svf/SVDrv.05.07.2014.14.59/kernel/linux/fake.mod.o /svf/SVDrv.05.07.2014.14.59/kernel/linux/fake.o

You can use “locate” or “find” command on these modules to find where they are , for example
[root@localhost core_src]# lsmod Module Size Used by iptable_filter 2793 0 ipt_MASQUERADE 2466 1 iptable_nat 6158 1 vmware_balloon 7199 0 i2c_piix4 12608 0 i2c_core 31276 1 i2c_piix4 shpchp 33482 0 ext4 371331 2 mbcache 8144 1 ext4 jbd2 93312 1 ext4 sd_mod 39488 4 crc_t10dif 1541 1 sd_mod sr_mod 16228 0 cdrom 39803 1 sr_mod mptspi 17051 3 mptscsih 36828 1 mptspi mptbase 94005 2 mptspi,mptscsih scsi_transport_spi 26151 1 mptspi pata_acpi 3701 0 ata_generic 3837 0 ata_piix 22846 0 dm_mirror 14101 0 dm_region_hash 12170 1 dm_mirror dm_log 10122 2 dm_mirror,dm_region_hash dm_mod 81692 2 dm_mirror,dm_log [root@localhost core_src]# locate vmware_balloon /lib/modules/2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64/kernel/drivers/misc/vmware_balloon.ko
