Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] module: Simplify warning on positive returns from module_init()
Date: Mon, 30 Mar 2026 08:13:52 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <-v2-2-a3542e15111c@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <-v2-0-a3542e15111c@kernel.org>
It should now be rare to trigger this warning - it doesn't need to be so
verbose. Make it follow the usual style in the module loading code.
For the same reason, drop the dump_stack().
