shield Recommended update for kmod
SUSE-SLE-Module-Basesystem-15-SP7-2026-3106

This update for kmod fixes the following issues: - Use in-kernel decompression if available (jsc#PED-16303): * libkmod: + Add a separate function to load the file contents when it's needed. When it's not needed on the path of loading modules via finit_module(), there is no need to mmap the file. + Extract 2 functions to handle finit_module vs init_modules differences, with a fallback from the former to the latter. + Don't only set the type as direct, but also keep track of the compression being used. + When creating the context, read /sys/kernel/compression to check. what's the compression type supported by the kernel. + Use kernel decompression when available + add fallback MODULE_INIT_COMPRESSED_FILE define
