The mod command won't do filename completion.
Sometimes I set up a big ugly directory path for mod -S by starting with
the dir command, using its filename completion to get the modules
directory, and then command-line editing the dir command into a mod -S
command before executing it. Ahem.
This hacky patch allows crash to tell gdb that "mod" is a command that
should get filename completion. It's pretty un-smart filename
completion, e.g. doesn't know that sometimes it should be selecting from
a list of modules instead of filenames, etc. And it messes with the
separation of crash and gdb.
But mod -S <tab><tab> seems to work.
By any chance, does the "non-standard module directory option" that went
into 4.0-8.10 work for you, i.e., letting the bash command line do the
command line completion work:
# crash vmlinux [vmcore] --mod <directory>
Then "mod -S" works by searching from the specified <directory> on down.

It does change the behavior of "crash> gdb help mod" and
"crash> gdb
mod".
Huh?
