When the module is definitely present but CONFIG_MODVERSIONS is disabled, the following error message may be somewhat confusing: modprobe --dump-modversions /path/to/module.ko.xz modprobe: FATAL: could not get modversions of /path/to/module.ko.xz: No such file or directory Choosing among the convenient errno values, I would suggest to use ENODATA when the module lacks a particular ELF section (and vermagic as well). So now it is expected to be: modprobe: FATAL: could not get modversions of /path/to/module.ko.xz: No data available Reviewed-by: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Dmitry Antipov <dmantipov@xxxxxxxxx> --- libkmod/libkmod-elf.c | 6 +++--- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/libkmod/libkmod-elf.c b/libkmod/libkmod-elf.c index ef4a8a3..fb2e3d9 100644 --- a/libkmod/libkmod-elf.c +++ b/libkmod/libkmod-elf.c @@ -392,7 +392,7 @@ static int elf_find_section(const struct kmod_elf *elf, const char *section) return i; } - return -ENOENT; + return -ENODATA; } int kmod_elf_get_section(const struct kmod_elf *elf, const char *section, const void **buf, uint64_t *buf_size) @@ -422,7 +422,7 @@ int kmod_elf_get_section(const struct kmod_elf *elf, const char *section, const return 0; } - return -ENOENT; + return -ENODATA; } /* array will be allocated with strings in a single malloc, just free *array */ @@ -653,7 +653,7 @@ int kmod_elf_strip_vermagic(struct kmod_elf *elf) } ELFDBG(elf, "no vermagic found in .modinfo\n"); - return -ENOENT; + return -ENODATA; } -- 2.40.1
