Subject: [PATCH v2 3/4] module: centralize no-versions force load check
Date: Mon, 25 Aug 2025 17:15:34 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250825091545.18607-4-wangjinchao600@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250825091545.18607-1-wangjinchao600@gmail.com>

Move try_to_force_load() call from check_version() to
check_modstruct_version() to handle "no versions" case only once before
other version checks.

This prevents duplicate force load attempts and makes the error message
show the proper reason.
