I would really like to see that patch go into the main distribution... It seems I've run into the problem several times, and I definitely don't think an infinite loop is desirable behavior.
Is there any disadvantage to putting a limit on the the number of concurrent modprobe's run by kmod? Certainly on a heavily modularized system the number may be higher... However couldn't the limit be set to a reasonably high number, which wouldn't occur under heavy module load, but would occur under a circular dependency loop?
Just my opinion.... Thanks for listening.
