These modules may be loaded lazily without user's awareness and control. Add respective aliases to modules and request them under these aliases so that modprobe's blacklisting mechanism (through aliases) works for them. (The same pattern exists e.g. for filesystem modules.) Original module names remain unchanged. Patches were generated with the help of Coccinelle scripts like: cat >scripts/coccinelle/misc/tcf_alias.cocci <<EOD virtual patch virtual report @ haskernel @ @@ @ tcf_has_kind depends on report && haskernel @ identifier ops; constant K; @@ static struct tcf_proto_ops ops = { .kind = K, ... }; +char module_alias = K; EOD /usr/bin/spatch -D report --cocci-file scripts/coccinelle/misc/tcf_alias.cocci \ --dir . \ -I ./arch/x86/include -I ./arch/x86/include/generated -I ./include \ -I ./arch/x86/include/uapi -I ./arch/x86/include/generated/uapi \ -I ./include/uapi -I ./include/generated/uapi \ --include ./include/linux/compiler-version.h --include ./include/linux/kconfig.h \ --jobs 8 --chunksize 1 2>/dev/null | \ sed 's/char module_alias = "\([^"]*\)";/MODULE_ALIAS_TCF("\1");/' Changes from v1 (https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231121175640.9981-1-mkoutny@xxxxxxxx) - Treat sch_ and act_ modules analogously to cls_ Michal Koutný (3): net/sched: cls: Load net classifier modules via alias net/sched: sch: Load qdisc modules via alias net/sched: act: Load TC action modules via alias include/net/act_api.h | 1 + include/net/pkt_cls.h | 1 + include/net/pkt_sched.h | 1 + net/sched/act_api.c | 2 +- net/sched/act_bpf.c | 1 + net/sched/act_connmark.c | 1 + net/sched/act_csum.c | 1 + net/sched/act_ct.c | 1 + net/sched/act_ctinfo.c | 1 + net/sched/act_gact.c | 1 + net/sched/act_gate.c | 1 + net/sched/act_ife.c | 1 + net/sched/act_ipt.c | 2 ++ net/sched/act_mirred.c | 1 + net/sched/act_mpls.c | 1 + net/sched/act_nat.c | 1 + net/sched/act_pedit.c | 1 + net/sched/act_police.c | 1 + net/sched/act_sample.c | 1 + net/sched/act_simple.c | 1 + net/sched/act_skbedit.c | 1 + net/sched/act_skbmod.c | 1 + net/sched/act_tunnel_key.c | 1 + net/sched/act_vlan.c | 1 + net/sched/cls_api.c | 2 +- net/sched/cls_basic.c | 1 + net/sched/cls_bpf.c | 1 + net/sched/cls_cgroup.c | 1 + net/sched/cls_flow.c | 1 + net/sched/cls_flower.c | 1 + net/sched/cls_fw.c | 1 + net/sched/cls_matchall.c | 1 + net/sched/cls_route.c | 1 + net/sched/cls_u32.c | 1 + net/sched/sch_api.c | 2 +- net/sched/sch_cake.c | 1 + net/sched/sch_cbs.c | 1 + net/sched/sch_choke.c | 1 + net/sched/sch_codel.c | 1 + net/sched/sch_drr.c | 1 + net/sched/sch_etf.c | 1 + net/sched/sch_ets.c | 1 + net/sched/sch_fq.c | 1 + net/sched/sch_fq_codel.c | 1 + net/sched/sch_gred.c | 1 + net/sched/sch_hfsc.c | 1 + net/sched/sch_hhf.c | 1 + net/sched/sch_htb.c | 1 + net/sched/sch_ingress.c | 2 ++ net/sched/sch_mqprio.c | 1 + net/sched/sch_multiq.c | 1 + net/sched/sch_netem.c | 1 + net/sched/sch_pie.c | 1 + net/sched/sch_plug.c | 1 + net/sched/sch_prio.c | 1 + net/sched/sch_qfq.c | 1 + net/sched/sch_red.c | 1 + net/sched/sch_sfb.c | 1 + net/sched/sch_sfq.c | 1 + net/sched/sch_skbprio.c | 1 + net/sched/sch_taprio.c | 1 + net/sched/sch_tbf.c | 1 + 62 files changed, 64 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) -- 2.42.1
