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.
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 (Johan Hovold)
- Fix module state inconsistency by setting it back to GOING when a
module fails to load and is on its way out (Miroslav Benes)
- Some comment and code cleanups (Sergey Shtylyov)"
