    <p>An update that contains one feature can now be installed.</p>

    


    
        <h2>Description:</h2>
    
    <p>This update for kmod fixes the following issues:</p>
<ul>
<li>Use in-kernel decompression if available (jsc#PED-16303):<ul>
<li>libkmod:<ul>
<li>Add a separate function to load the file contents when it&#x27;s needed.
  When it&#x27;s not needed on the path of loading modules via finit_module(),
  there is no need to mmap the file.</li>
<li>Extract 2 functions to handle finit_module vs init_modules differences,
  with a fallback from the former to the latter.</li>
<li>Don&#x27;t only set the type as direct, but also keep track of the compression being used.</li>
<li>When creating the context, read /sys/kernel/compression to check
  what&#x27;s the compression type supported by the kernel.</li>
<li>Use kernel decompression when available</li>
<li>add fallback MODULE_INIT_COMPRESSED_FILE define</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
