Subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] module autoloading fixes and cleanups
Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2020 13:25:48 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200312202552.241885-1-ebiggers@kernel.org> (raw)
This series fixes a bug where request_module() was reporting success to
kernel code when module autoloading had been completely disabled via
'echo > /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe'.
It also addresses the issues raised on the original thread
(https://lkml.kernel.org/lkml/20200310223731.126894-1-ebiggers@kernel.org/T/#u)
by documenting the modprobe sysctl, adding a self-test for the empty
path case, and downgrading a user-reachable WARN_ONCE().
Eric Biggers (4):
kmod: make request_module() return an error when autoloading is
disabled
fs/filesystems.c: downgrade user-reachable WARN_ONCE() to
pr_warn_once()
docs: admin-guide: document the kernel.modprobe sysctl
selftests: kmod: test disabling module autoloading
