| Subject: module: taint kernel when lve module is loaded |
| |
| commit c99af3752bb52ba3aece5315279a57a477edfaf1 upstream. |
| |
| Cloudlinux have a product called lve that includes a kernel module. This |
| was previously GPLed but is now under a proprietary license, but the |
| module continues to declare MODULE_LICENSE("GPL") and makes use of some |
| EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL symbols. Forcibly taint it in order to avoid this. |
