-Subject: [PATCH] modprobe: fix error path when loading dependencies
-
-demarchi> scenario is the following:
-demarchi> modA depends on modB and modC
-demarchi> if there's a race when trying to insert a dependency of a module, say
-          modB, it will stop loading all the modules
-demarchi> it should check by "module already loaded error"
-demarchi> like it does for modA

-Subject: [PATCH] Replace NAME_MAX with PATH_MAX for module aliases
-
-Module aliases can be bigger than NAME_MAX. So, replace with PATH_MAX
-that is bigger enough to hold them.
-
-Technically in some places NAME_MAX would be sufficient (those using
-module names only), but they use functions that can be called with
-alias. So increase the buffers in these cases to PATH_MAX too.
