Hi,
I notice a regression report on Bugzilla [1]. Quoting from it:
See Bugzilla for the full thread and attached patch that ignores the error.
Josh: It looks like this regression is caused by a commit of yours (and also 1240dabe8d58b4). Would you like to take a look on it?
Anyway, I'm adding this regression to be tracked by regzbot:
#regzbot introduced: 4243afdb932677 https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217689 #regzbot title: always doing modules_install breaks CONFIG_MODULES=n builds
Thanks.

Hopefully, 6.4.x will be fixed in the next release.
The 6.3.x series is EOL. So, we cannot fix it.

Masahiro Yamada: thx for taking care of this and Greg for picking the fix up.
BTW, Bagas, this apparently is a regression that only affected stable. In that case please tell rezbot about the stable commit-id of the change, as otherwise it will consider the problem a regression in mainline (and there it's was never a problem or already solved [didn't look]).
Let me fix this up and tell regzbot about the incoming fix while at it:
#regzbot introduced: 6061ac50f1e04 #regzbot fix: kbuild: make modules_install copy modules.builtin(.modinfo)
Do you also take care of marking the bugzilla entries as completed/fixed/solved etc.?
I don't known if Bagas does, but I do not and have no plans to do so.
I consider my work on looking at bugzilla for regressions a courtesy I perform in the interest of the "no regressions" rule, as some or many of those report otherwise will be ignored. And that's bad for our reputation.
But that is where my courtesy stops. Those that think having a bugzilla around should take care of maintaining the state. Bugbot might soon solve part of the problem. But I guess it won't handle this case.
Ciao, Thorsten
