Hi Andrew,
Reading your 2.6.12-rc1-mm4 announce text I see
...
-figure-out-who-is-inserting-bogus-modules-warning-fix.patch
Folded into figure-out-who-is-inserting-bogus-modules.patch
...
figure-out-who-is-inserting-bogus-modules.patch
Figure out who is inserting bogus modules
...
However, it seems you did *not* roll
figure-out-who-is-inserting-bogus-modules-warning-fix.patch into
figure-out-who-is-inserting-bogus-modules.patch but instead just dropped
the patch.
It also turns out I had a small boundary error (off-by-one) in my original
patch which Yum Rayan spotted and fixed in a patch he wrote that also
reduces the stack usage of the function (by dynamically allocating the
needed mem for 'args' instead of using a static 512 byte array - see the
LKML thread with subject "[PATCH] Reduce stack usage in module.c"), so
below you'll find an updated patch that reintroduce
figure-out-who-is-inserting-bogus-modules-warning-fix.patch on top of
2.6.12-rc1-mm4 and includes Yum Rayan's fix for the off-by-one and also
adopts his use of kmalloc() instead of large static array.
Yum Rayan's patch does more than what I've included below, I've only
included his changes to the who_is_doing_it() function, if you want the
rest of his changes then please see the original thread for his full
patch.
Here's the updated figure-out-who-is-inserting-bogus-modules-warning-fix.patch
