Subject: module: wait when loading a module which is currently initializing.

module: wait when loading a module which is currently initializing.
|
|
|
|
The original module-init-tools module loader used a fnctl lock on the
|
|
.ko file to avoid attempts to simultaneously load a module.
|
|
Unfortunately, you can't get an exclusive fcntl lock on a read-only
|
|
fd, making this not work for read-only mounted filesystems.
|
|
module-init-tools has a hacky sleep-and-loop for this now.
|
|
|
|
It's not that hard to wait in the kernel, and only return -EEXIST once
|
|
the first module has finished loading (or continue loading the module
|
|
if the first one failed to initialize for some reason). It's also
|
|
consistent with what we do for dependent modules which are still loading.
