This was just recently reported to me. When built as modules, the dccp_probe module has a silent dependency on the dccp module. This stems from the fact that the module_init routine of dccp_probe registers a jprobe on the dccp_sendmsg symbol. Since the symbol is only referenced as a text string (the .symbol_name field in the jprobe struct) rather than the address of the symbol itself, depmod never picks this dependency up, and so if you load the dccp_probe module without the dccp module loaded, the register_jprobe call fails with an -EINVAL, and the whole module load fails. The fix is pretty easy, we can just wrap the register_jprobe call in a try_then_request_module call, which forces the dependency to get satisfied prior to the probe registration.
