Summary of modules changes for the 5.11 merge window:
- Fix a race condition between systemd/udev and the module loader.
The module loader was sending a uevent before the module was fully
initialized (i.e., before its init function has been called). This means
udev can start processing the module uevent before the module has
finished initializing, and some udev rules expect that the module has
initialized already upon receiving the uevent. This resulted in some
systemd mount units failing if udev processes the event faster than the
module can finish init. This is fixed by delaying the uevent until after
the module has called its init routine.
- Make the linker array sections for kernel params and module version
attributes more robust by switching to use the alignment of the type in
question. Namely, linker section arrays will be constructed using the
alignment required by the struct (using __alignof__()) as opposed to a
specific value such as sizeof(void *) or sizeof(long). This is less
likely to cause breakages should the size of the type ever change (from
Johan Hovold)
- Fix module state inconsistency by setting it back to GOING when a module
fails to load and is on its way out (from Miroslav Benes)
- Some comment and code cleanups (from Sergey Shtylyov)

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
