Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] module: pull out add_taint_module() to be public
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2026 12:51:46 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260831-bind_taint-v2-1-1082d631213b@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260831-bind_taint-v2-0-1082d631213b@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.
