This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net/af_iucv: clean up a try_then_request_module() to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: net-af_iucv-clean-up-a-try_then_request_module.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 943ef15c60b09c957c7e4628fd31660215836f29 Author: Julian Wiedmann <jwi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Aug 9 10:30:47 2021 +0200 net/af_iucv: clean up a try_then_request_module() [ Upstream commit 4eb9eda6ba64114d98827e2870e024d5ab7cd35b ] Use IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_IUCV) to determine whether the iucv_if symbol is available, and let depmod deal with the module dependency. This was introduced back with commit 6fcd61f7bf5d ("af_iucv: use loadable iucv interface"). And to avoid sprinkling IS_ENABLED() over all the code, we're keeping the indirection through pr_iucv->...().
