From: Emil Velikov <emil.l.velikov@xxxxxxxxx> Since the direct loading was introduced a few bugs became obvious that the compression args used were off - both in-kernel and dkms. While both of those are fixed already, not all of those have reached all users. For example: for dkms I'm aiming to do a release just as kmod has theirs (to align /lib/modules <> /usr/lib/modules support). Although I am wondering if we can indiscriminatingly callback to the old do_init_module() in all the cases. This means that we'll catch any in-kernel decompression issues - invalid args, ENOMEM, other.... Although for others (wrong magic, perm, etc) we will end up doing the exact kernel work twice. Overall the trade-off seems worth it, so flip this.
