Public bug reported:
SRU Justification:
Impact:
Currently RDMA drivers names have a dot to separate the major and minor host OS
version number (eg, hv_network_directly_142.0.ko). That causes some unexpected
behavior with the kmod tools.
modprobe ignores everything after the dot, so it's only possible to load
the modules manually with `modprobe hv_network_direct_142` instead of
`modprobe hv_network_direct_142.0`.
Also, after the modules is loaded, lsmod shows some errors when
searching for `/sys/module/hv_network_direct_142.0` while only
`/sys/module/hv_network_direct_142` is available.
Fix: replace dots with underscores to separate major and minor host OS
version numbers.
Testcase:
The user should be able to load the drivers with their complete name, eg
`modprobe hv_network_direct_142_0` and lsmod should not show any errors after
the module is loaded.
