For example, if you attempt to load a non-existent crypto algorithm, or create a socket of a non-existent network family, it will result in a request_module call that is guaranteed to fail. As user-space can do this repeatedly, it can quickly overwhelm the concurrency limit in kmod. This in itself is expected, however, at least on some platforms this appears to result in a live-lock. Here is an example triggered by stress-ng on ppc64: [ 529.853264] request_module: kmod_concurrent_max (0) close to 0 (max_modprobes: 50), for module crypto-aegis128l, throttling...
