Currently, modpost manages modules in a singly linked list; it adds a new node to the head, and traverses the list from new to old. It works, but the error messages are shown in the reverse order. If you have a Makefile like this: obj-m += foo.o bar.o then, modpost shows error messages in bar.o, foo.o, in this order. Use a doubly linked list to keep the order in modules.order; use list_add_tail() for the node addition and list_for_each_entry() for the list traverse. Now that the kernel's list macros have been imported to modpost, I will use them actively going forward.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
