Subject: [PATCH 1/2] module: pull out add_taint_module() to be public
Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2026 11:19:32 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260826-bind_taint-v1-1-52b05f4a965c@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260826-bind_taint-v1-0-52b05f4a965c@linuxfoundation.org>
Other kernel code might want to call add_taint_module() so pull it out
and make it global. If modules are not enabled, this defaults to a call
to add_taint(), so all is fine.
