Subject: [PATCH 2/2] module: Simplify warning on positive returns from module_init()
Date: Mon, 13 Oct 2025 09:26:24 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251013-module-warn-ret-v1-2-ab65b41af01f@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251013-module-warn-ret-v1-0-ab65b41af01f@intel.com>
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().
