[ Upstream commit 6e6de3dee51a439f76eb73c22ae2ffd2c9384712 ]
Microsoft HyperV disables the X86_FEATURE_SMCA bit on AMD systems, and linux guests boot with repeated errors:
amd64_edac_mod: Unknown symbol amd_unregister_ecc_decoder (err -2) amd64_edac_mod: Unknown symbol amd_register_ecc_decoder (err -2) amd64_edac_mod: Unknown symbol amd_report_gart_errors (err -2) amd64_edac_mod: Unknown symbol amd_unregister_ecc_decoder (err -2) amd64_edac_mod: Unknown symbol amd_register_ecc_decoder (err -2) amd64_edac_mod: Unknown symbol amd_report_gart_errors (err -2)
The warnings occur because the module code erroneously returns -EEXIST for modules that have failed to load and are in the process of being removed from the module list.
module amd64_edac_mod has a dependency on module edac_mce_amd. Using modules.dep, systemd will load edac_mce_amd for every request of amd64_edac_mod. When the edac_mce_amd module loads, the module has state MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED and once the module load fails and the state becomes MODULE_STATE_GOING. Another request for edac_mce_amd module executes and add_unformed_module() will erroneously return -EEXIST even though the previous instance of edac_mce_amd has MODULE_STATE_GOING. Upon receiving -EEXIST, systemd attempts to load amd64_edac_mod, which fails because of unknown symbols from edac_mce_amd.
add_unformed_module() must wait to return for any case other than MODULE_STATE_LIVE to prevent a race between multiple loads of dependent modules.
