Subject: [ANNOUNCE] kmod 18

kmod 18 is out:

        ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/kmod/kmod-18.tar.xz

Small fixes to libkmod, tools and testsuite. The biggest visible change is in
depmod, that now fails if dependency loops are present.

- Bug fixes:
	- Fix leaks in error paths
	- Fix use-after-free in hash implementation causing a wrong index to be
	  generated by depmod with out-of-tree modules

- New features:
	- Calling depmod with modules creating a dependency loop will now make
	  depmod return an error and not update the indexes. This is to protect
	  the current index not being overridden by another index that may cause
	  a boot failure, depending on the buggy module. It's a necessary
	  change in behavior regarding previous kmod releases and
	  module-init-tools. The error message was also improved to output
	  the modules that caused the dependency cycle.

- Improvements to testsuite:
	- Fix and improve expected-fail test
	- Add tests for hashmap implementation


And the shortlog:

Joe Lawrence (1):

Leandro Pereira (5):
      Bail out of index_mm_open() if fstat() fails
      Ensure read_long() reads the correct number of bytes from the index
      Free realnames if kmod_lookup_alias_from_alias_bin() fails
