I added printk's to the entry and exit from __request_module and obtained the following: module: __request_module entered for module snd-hda-codec-id:14f15051 module: loading module snd-hda-codec-id:14f15051 - call_usermodehelper returned 0 module: __request_module entered for module ecb(arc4) module: loading module ecb(arc4) - call_usermodehelper returned 256 module: __request_module entered for module ecb module: loading module ecb - call_usermodehelper returned 0 module: __request_module entered for module char-major-4-68 module: loading module char-major-4-68 - call_usermodehelper returned 256 module: __request_module entered for module char-major-4 module: loading module char-major-4 - call_usermodehelper returned 256 module: __request_module entered for module char-major-4-69 module: loading module char-major-4-69 - call_usermodehelper returned 256 module: __request_module entered for module char-major-4 module: loading module char-major-4 - call_usermodehelper returned 256 module: __request_module entered for module char-major-4-70 module: loading module char-major-4-70 - call_usermodehelper returned 256 module: __request_module entered for module char-major-4 module: loading module char-major-4 - call_usermodehelper returned 256 module: __request_module entered for module char-major-4-71 module: loading module char-major-4-71 - call_usermodehelper returned 256 module: __request_module entered for module char-major-4 module: loading module char-major-4 - call_usermodehelper returned 256 module: __request_module entered for module net-pf-10 module: loading module net-pf-10 - call_usermodehelper returned 256 module: __request_module entered for module net-pf-10 module: loading module net-pf-10 - call_usermodehelper returned 256 module: __request_module entered for module net-pf-10 module: loading module net-pf-10 - call_usermodehelper returned 256 module: __request_module entered for module net-pf-10 module: loading module net-pf-10 - call_usermodehelper returned 256 module: __request_module entered for module net-pf-10 module: loading module net-pf-10 - call_usermodehelper returned 256 module: __request_module entered for module net-pf-10 module: loading module net-pf-10 - call_usermodehelper returned 256 module: __request_module entered for module net-pf-10 module: loading module net-pf-10 - call_usermodehelper returned 256 module: __request_module entered for module net-pf-10 module: loading module net-pf-10 - call_usermodehelper returned 256 module: __request_module entered for module net-pf-10 module: loading module net-pf-10 - call_usermodehelper returned 256 module: __request_module entered for module net-pf-10 module: loading module net-pf-10 - call_usermodehelper returned 256 module: __request_module entered for module net-pf-10 module: loading module net-pf-10 - call_usermodehelper returned 256 module: __request_module entered for module net-pf-10 module: loading module net-pf-10 - call_usermodehelper returned 256 module: __request_module entered for module net-pf-10 module: loading module net-pf-10 - call_usermodehelper returned 256 module: __request_module entered for module net-pf-10 module: __request_module entered for module net-pf-10 module: loading module net-pf-10 - call_usermodehelper returned 256 module: loading module net-pf-10 - call_usermodehelper returned 256 module: __request_module entered for module net-pf-10 module: loading module net-pf-10 - call_usermodehelper returned 256 module: __request_module entered for module net-pf-10 module: loading module net-pf-10 - call_usermodehelper returned 256 module: __request_module entered for module net-pf-10 module: loading module net-pf-10 - call_usermodehelper returned 256 module: __request_module entered for module net-pf-10 module: loading module net-pf-10 - call_usermodehelper returned 256 module: __request_module entered for module net-pf-10 module: loading module net-pf-10 - call_usermodehelper returned 256 module: __request_module entered for module net-pf-10 module: loading module net-pf-10 - call_usermodehelper returned 256 According to the description of the routine, it should return 0 on success and a negative number for an error. Where do the values of "256" mean?
