Hi Neil, I have tested your patch, it works fine thanks to the repeated execution of the macro argument. I have reformatted it, removing the inner parentheses, which I think is justified since macros copy their arguments in full. Also converted your email to a drafted commit message. Due to this, have not copied your signed-off -- if you are ok, please add, this should be submitted asap. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Patch v2 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< dccp: fix loading of dccp_probe This fixes commit (38ff3e6bb987ec583268da8eb22628293095d43b) ("dccp_probe: Fix module load dependencies between dccp and dccp_probe", from 15 Jan). It fixes the construction of the first argument of try_then_request_module(), where only valid return codes from the first argument should be returned. What we do now is assign the result of register_jprobe() to ret, without the side effect of the comparison.
