Subject: [PATCH v3 3/4] module: centralize no-versions force load check
Date: Fri, 29 Aug 2025 16:49:12 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250829084927.156676-4-wangjinchao600@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250829084927.156676-1-wangjinchao600@gmail.com>
Move try_to_force_load() call from check_version() to
check_modstruct_version() to handle "no versions" case only once before
other version checks.
Suggested-by: Petr Pavlu <petr.pavlu@suse.com>
