Anyone else seeing modprobe errors?

This started yesterday and is in the latest r3194-e5a0eb2
WRT1900AC V1
The below is a short sample of the errors. Everything seems to work. Just log spam?

Yeah, i see them as well on both a Linksys wrt1900ac-v2 and a Netgear r7800.

Issues seems to be cosmetic?

As far as I can tell everything works as expected.
Since it is not really a bug and just log spam I really do not want to add it as a bug report..
Hopefully the right person sees this thread. If I get time later I will try to find the commit that caused it.
Edit: Removed stupid comment.
I am wondering if it has to do with the prep for 4.9?

All the kmods have been hosed in the master branches

Hi, had the same on a wrt3200acm - i saw that one package was "missing".
kmod-ledtrig-netdev (- 4.4.45-1)

i installed it, and since then log isn't flooded anymore and load went down to 0.08.

The messages above are purely cosmetic.

New modprobe error with todays build: r3220-12288d4
127 times this message:

Tue Jan 31 16:15:10 2017 daemon.err modprobe: failed to find a module named netdev-*

anyone an idea what's missing?

try "iw aaaaaa" and logread.
modprobe process is called directly by kernel and only if "iw" was run under root. I replaced kmodloader (modprobe is linked to it) with bash script to print $PPID and it was kworker process

It looks like dirty kernel hack or misbehaving feature in openwrt environment

10

I switched over to the 17.01 branch, and since then it is gone. So agree it is likely one of the patches to prepare for 4.9. My guess is it will be fixed once we switch the kernel to 4.9.

Thanks @jow for fixing this annoyance.

Jow did not fix root of the problem. He changed ubox so that kmodloader insmods silently.
But modprobe is still called and "iw " causes abnormal delay which was not present in recent versions.
If change was introduced in original kernel tree we need kernel patch to remove this function
