kmod_module_new_from_loaded() calls fgets with a 4k buffer. When a
module such as usbcore is used by too many modules, the rest of the line
is considered a beginning of another lines and we eventually get errors
like these from lsmod:

libkmod: kmod_module_get_holders: could not open '/sys/module/100,/holders': No such file or directory

together with bogus entries in the output. In kmod_module_get_size, the
problem does not affect functionality, but the line numbers in error
messages will be wrong.

I wrote a test case for this as well, but it is failing because the
testsuite itself has problems with output larger than 4k. I'll send
something later.

Also, the buffer could be shrinked now, so that we do not use that much
space on stack. Not sure if this is of interest or not. I left it as is.

Michal

Yep, I think it's reasonable to be 64 bytes since it's the maximum
length of a module name

I think it would be better to "eat line" before anything else, above
kmod_module_new_from_name(). So you don't need to change the flow
here.

OK. In kmod_module_get_size(), the buffer needs to be larger, though.

Sure, but then we would need two buffers, because name is a pointer into
line.

oh, right. Thinking again, I'm ok with your version.

Shall I post a version that reduces the size of the buffer, or are you
going to apply my patch as is?
