modprobe: call finit_module with MODULE_INIT_COMPRESSED_FILE if module name doesn't end with .ko

2023-03-31T11:15:58+00:00

IOW: if name doesn't end with .ko, assume it's .gz/.xz or similar, and ask kernel to uncompress it. If finit_module(MODULE_INIT_COMPRESSED_FILE) fails, retry with finit_module(0). function old new delta bb_init_module 151 197 +46 Signed-off-by: Denys Vlasenko
