Public bug reported: [Impact]
We don't want sosreport to possibly trigger kernel module to load. This is causing Bionic autopkgtest to fails on 4.15 series kernel. 'simple.sh' will report a failure: "new kernel modules loaded during execution" [Test case] On a 4.15 kernel (Bionic) root@srv:~# lsmod | grep -i devlink root@srv:~# sos report -o networking root@srv:~# lsmod | grep -i devlink devlink 45056 0 Not reproducible on Bionic w/ 5.4 kernel for instance Reason: config-4.15.0-140-generic:CONFIG_MAY_USE_DEVLINK=m config-5.4.0-70-generic:CONFIG_NET_DEVLINK=y CONFIG_MAY_USE_DEVLINK: Drivers using the devlink infrastructure should have a dependency on MAY_USE_DEVLINK to ensure they do not cause link errors when devlink is a loadable module and the driver using it is built-in.
