This is to protect + the current index not being overridden by another index that may cause + a boot failure, depending on the buggy module. It's a necessary + change in behavior regarding previous kmod releases and + module-init-tools. The error message was also improved to output + the modules that caused the dependency cycle. + +- Improvements to testsuite: + - Fix and improve expected-fail test + - Add tests for hashmap implementation + kmod 17 ======= |
