Supersedes the mutual-exclusion decision in #1319.
The combination must not be rejected.
If a user file collides with KMM's loading-order file, the module fails to load instead of overwriting silently.

This is a manual cherry pick for this upstream.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Updated the proposal to allow modules to enable both modprobe.d configuration and module loading order support.
    • Documented how user configuration files are handled alongside the generated dependency configuration.
    • Added validation for conflicting softdep.conf files, which now causes module loading to fail.
    • Clarified configuration file naming requirements and updated acceptance criteria.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The enhancement proposal now permits a Module to enable modprobe.d configuration and ModulesLoadingOrder together. It defines file copying, read-only softdep.conf mounting, collision failure behavior, updated requirements, acceptance criteria, and *.conf naming.

Changes

Modprobe configuration co-enablement

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configuration behavior
docs/enhancements/0005-modprobed-config.md
The proposal allows both capabilities on one Module. It describes copying user files into /etc/modprobe.d/, mounting KMM’s read-only softdep.conf, preserving directory write access, and leaving ModulesLoadingOrder unchanged when modprobedDir is unset.
Requirements and validation
docs/enhancements/0005-modprobed-config.md
FR-8 now permits co-enablement. New FR-9 requires load failure for a colliding softdep.conf. NFR-3, acceptance criteria, and assumptions reflect the collision case and *.conf naming. The Future Work section is removed.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 8fcec

The enhancement now promises that user module configuration and loading-order configuration work together, but the current mounting behavior may hide the user files and prevent the combined configuration from functioning. Merge should wait until the mount behavior and documented contract are aligned.

`ModulesLoadingOrder` continues to be a `softdep.conf` file in that
directory. When both capabilities are enabled, KMM mounts that file
read-only at `/etc/modprobe.d/softdep.conf` and copies the user's files
next to it. The directory stays writable, so `modprobe` reads both.

Mount only softdep.conf.

When both capabilities are enabled, setWorkerSofdepConfig mounts the DownwardAPI volume at /etc/modprobe.d as read-only. This hides the user files that the enhancement requires at that path.

Use a file-level mount, such as subPath, or an equivalent staging design. Preserve the existing behavior when modprobedDir is unset. Add an integration test for both files and for failing before modprobe when the source contains softdep.conf.
