Subject: [PATCH v3 4/4] module: separate vermagic and livepatch checks
Date: Fri, 29 Aug 2025 16:49:13 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250829084927.156676-5-wangjinchao600@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250829084927.156676-1-wangjinchao600@gmail.com>

Rename check_modinfo() to check_modinfo_vermagic() to clarify it only
checks vermagic compatibility.

Move livepatch check to happen after vermagic check in early_mod_check(),
creating proper separation of concerns.
No functional changes, just clearer code organization.
