Small fixes to libkmod, tools and testsuite. The biggest visible change is in
depmod, that now fails if dependency loops are present.
- Bug fixes:
- Fix leaks in error paths
- Fix use-after-free in hash implementation causing a wrong index to be
generated by depmod with out-of-tree modules
- New features:
- Calling depmod with modules creating a dependency loop will now make
depmod return an error and not update the indexes. This is to protect
the current index not being overridden by another index that may cause
a boot failure, depending on the buggy module. It's a necessary
change in behavior regarding previous kmod releases and
module-init-tools. The error message was also improved to output
the modules that caused the dependency cycle.
- Improvements to testsuite:
- Fix and improve expected-fail test
- Add tests for hashmap implementation
