Subject: [PATCH 4/6] kmod: return -EBUSY if modprobe limit is reached
Date: Thu, 18 May 2017 20:24:42 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170519032444.18416-5-mcgrof@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20170519032444.18416-1-mcgrof@kernel.org>

Running out of our modprobe limit is not a memory limit but
a system specific established limitation set to avoid a possible
recursive issue with modprobe. This gives userspace a better idea
of what happened if we can't load a module, it could use this to
wait and try again.
