[PATCH v2] vhost/vsock: specify module version

From: Alexander Mikhalitsyn
Date: Sun Sep 29 2024 - 14:21:44 EST


Add an explicit MODULE_VERSION("0.0.1") specification for the vhost_vsock module.

It is useful because it allows userspace to check if vhost_vsock is there when it is
configured as a built-in.

This is what we have *without* this change and when vhost_vsock is configured
as a module and loaded:

$ ls -la /sys/module/vhost_vsock
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 0 Sep 29 19:00 .
drwxr-xr-x 337 root root 0 Sep 29 18:59 ..
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Sep 29 20:05 coresize
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Sep 29 20:05 holders
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Sep 29 20:05 initsize
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Sep 29 20:05 initstate
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Sep 29 20:05 notes
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Sep 29 20:05 refcnt
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Sep 29 20:05 sections
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Sep 29 20:05 srcversion
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Sep 29 20:05 taint
--w------- 1 root root 4096 Sep 29 19:00 uevent

When vhost_vsock is configured as a built-in there is *no* /sys/module/vhost_vsock directory at all.
And this looks like an inconsistency.

With this change, when vhost_vsock is configured as a built-in we get:
$ ls -la /sys/module/vhost_vsock/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Sep 26 15:59 .
drwxr-xr-x 100 root root 0 Sep 26 15:59 ..
--w------- 1 root root 4096 Sep 26 15:59 uevent
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Sep 26 15:59 version
