Hello Lucas, et al,
I upgraded from kmod-30 to kmod-31, and could not boot due to an
inability to load any module. Any invocation of insmod bombs with,
"decompression failed with status 6". I strace'd the issue to the
call to finit_module(). In kmod 30, the call to init_module()
works fine.
All modules are xz-compressed, for which support is present in the
kernel (using mainline kernel 6.5 here).
CONFIG_HAVE_KERNEL_XZ=y
CONFIG_KERNEL_XZ=y
CONFIG_MODULE_COMPRESS_XZ=y
CONFIG_FW_LOADER_COMPRESS_XZ=y
CONFIG_XZ_DEC=y
However, on a whim, I tried "make nconfig", searched for any
kernel config options containing "XZ", and at the top of the list:
# CONFIG_DECOMPRESS_XZ is not set
That appears to be an automatically-set option triggered by the
presence of initrd; but:
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD is not set
I don't know if (de)compression on an initrd is related to same
on a module, but it was the only thing I could find where XZ was
not =Y.
