From dfff0a0671baf4e69fc676bf8150635407548288 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman Date: Fri, 23 Feb 2007 14:54:57 -0800 Subject: Revert "Driver core: let request_module() send a /sys/modules/kmod/-uevent" This reverts commit c353c3fb0700a3c17ea2b0237710a184232ccd7f. It turns out that we end up with a loop trying to load the unix module and calling netfilter to do that. Will redo the patch later to not have this loop.
