The patch titled module: return error when mod_sysfs_init() failed has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was module-return-error-when-mod_sysfs_init-failed.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: module: return error when mod_sysfs_init() failed From: Akinobu Mita <akinobu.mita@xxxxxxxxx> load_module() returns zero when mod_sysfs_init() fails, then the module loading will succeed accidentally. This patch makes load_module() return error correctly in that case.
