![]() Summary of modules changes for the 5.11 merge window: - Fix a race condition between systemd/udev and the module loader. The module loader was sending a uevent before the module was fully initialized (i.e., before its init function has been called). This means udev can start processing the module uevent before the module has finished initializing, and some udev rules expect that the module has initialized already upon receiving the uevent. This resulted in some systemd mount units failing if udev processes the event faster than the module can finish init. This is fixed by delaying the uevent until after the module has called its init routine. - Make the linker array sections for kernel params and module version attributes more robust by switching to use the alignment of the type in question. Namely, linker section arrays will be constructed using the alignment required by the struct (using __alignof__()) as opposed to a specific value such as sizeof(void *) or sizeof(long). This is less likely to cause breakages should the size of the type ever change (from Johan Hovold) - Fix module state inconsistency by setting it back to GOING when a module fails to load and is on its way out (from Miroslav Benes) - Some comment and code cleanups (from Sergey Shtylyov) Signed-off-by: Jessica Yu <jeyu@kernel.org> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQJEBAABCAAuFiEEVrp26glSWYuDNrCUwEV+OM47wXIFAl/bVuwQHGpleXVAa2Vy bmVsLm9yZwAKCRDARX44zjvBcgkTEACNqNApglXgtWMphj2kHxKDPboUtMwlRAuN XAokanrQTk3eI9PvQR7lWBceViwUMI5qgfB7l1n9FKUTeo2heijs7YYWlo5y3Oed 9eYBMC2V8M8j7j8V2bXoHBKZHOyMGjZHpwkZDxvU1MlnJUjyz8q6RTRaSk4nutyb fkVMP9tOt699382gJqoVoN0nnXAYCn0CXHJgu2gz7SGegW9+5xAgP2s/NDxJN9Pa lDKeTE78iiV2k4cGfN3y9BhTfEl+LZoO9rXRHZRNkJ1T/mcyG17hrqSzUTxk/7Md iQ9jgNWtt0RYiVUkze54DOZM4T/OT3QrvYEEFbCPj9z5QDDLPRO4pO2+VSi5pBpn 7pzS6p7/HOx6RrwXrMpHE3tIKiZW4S6+ZxvM49/bAxA8debbaqH1PdwJNBqEz/Mb jzfuabD2UKIARYsGVn+/xbpWn53jvK59guIBT1be8RqmXyp8jnyBjmO68N483nmj zcT3qJsQySMSPi4gf0P7UkNTaMUa5OyVmfF7PkY+HrUxHNRiC5nV6isW/vtQh1vv 4xKZimC2cihKE2S3+sounfChmFSzUZrwgeTDCq6iWvA2nY6gGljOh2WNyplkSHy4 DCDBb7ZWYWSAWnku4mkMpCsaPBHoYdq++JVW+xWvXLkJHBkXSIPgWCAGjwmGPfjC bU7lZcudGQ== =FAwZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'modules-for-v5.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeyu/linux Pull modules updates from Jessica Yu: "Summary of modules changes for the 5.11 merge window: - Fix a race condition between systemd/udev and the module loader.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
