Commit "e5e2a68 kmod_modprobe: properly handle install/remove commands"
introduced a regression that, while it worked for install/remove
commands, it ceased to work for normal module names. Move the check for
whether it's a install command or a module so both cases work.
Handle install/remove commands just like modprobe does. Test configure
file:
install installme echo "this is a install message"
remove removeme echo "this is a remove message"
Tests:
$ ./tools/kmod-modprobe installme
this is a install message
$ ./tools/kmod-modprobe -r removeme
this is a remove message
$ ./tools/kmod-modprobe removeme
FATAL: Module removeme not found.
./tools/kmod-modprobe -r installme
FATAL: Module installme not found.
The check for remove/install commands must be before the ignore_loaded
check because we will actually run something instead of
removing/inserting a module and the modname might not correspond to a
real module. Otherwise a fake module like "remove removeme echo 'bla'"
would not work.
This also keeps compatibility with modprobe.
Implement soft dependencies in a way similar to module-init-tools
modprobe. Unlike regular dependencies they are allowed to fail
inserting or removing.
The rmmod version walks the lists in reverse order, also doing post
before and pre later.
try to mimic original module-init-tools' modprobe as much as possible,
but this exposed some missing features in libkmod, these are now
listed in TODO.
