Fwd: [PATCH] cifs: don't use 'pre:' for MODULE_SOFTDEP

[Steve French <smfrench@xxxxxxxxx>]

I noticed that btrfs and ext4 have the same bug

modprobe btrfs
modprobe -r btrfs

returns
"modprobe: FATAL: Module crc32c_intel is in use."

(although the module is actually unloaded despite the 'FATAL' error)

Should fs modules not use MODULE_SOFTDEP as Ronnie's patch suggests?

It can cause
to fail with
modprobe: FATAL: Module <module> is builtin.
