Please add a proper kdoc style comment block.




Rather than an underscore, I prefer a colon, which rarely appears in file names.

How about "module:foo-*,bar"  instead of  "MODULE_foo-*,bar"  ?

Why only limited to the trailing wildcard?

Did you consider using glob_match()?

Same comment as in kernel/module/main.c

If you see the existing code closely, strstarts() helper is used everywhere.

I would write like this:

         static const char *prefix = "module:";

          if (!strstarts(namespace, prefix))
                        return false;

I tend to avoid the magic number, 7.

Just like this:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v6.14-rc1/scripts/mod/file2alias.c#L1494

Same as kernel/module/main.c.

If you see around line 700 in this file,
you will find fnmatch() is already used for glob matching.
