Linux kernel source tree
2ba293c9e7
Recursive loops with module loading were previously handled in kmod by restricting the number of modprobe calls to 50 and if that limit was breached request_module() would return an error and a user would see the following on their kernel dmesg: request_module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-464c Starting init:/sbin/init exists but couldn't execute it (error -8) This issue could happen for instance when a 64-bit kernel boots a 32-bit userspace on some architectures and has no 32-bit binary format hanlders. This is visible, for instance, when a CONFIG_MODULES enabled 64-bit MIPS kernel boots a into o32 root filesystem and the binfmt handler for o32 binaries is not built-in. After commit |

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
