[SOLVED] cryptoloop module not found on 5.16.0

I've just updated to 5.16.0 and loading the cryptoloop module fails:

# modprobe cryptoloop
modprobe: FATAL: Module cryptoloop not found in directory /lib/modules/5.15.13-arch1-1

I have

/lib/modules/5.15.14-1-lts/kernel/drivers/block/cryptoloop.ko.zst

and it is present on 5.15.13 if I downgrade. However, it is missing from

/lib/modules/5.16.0-arch1-1/kernel/drivers/block

Downgrading to 5.15.13 allows me to use cryptoloop again. Is this a known issue or did I screw up something?

Maybe you did not reboot after the kernel upgrade?

cryptoloop has been deprecated 17 years ago and support has been removed 8 years ago. The module itself was lying in the tree for a dozen years, but now finally someone did the cleanup.

@mpan Had no idea! I guess it's time for me to update my scripts then.
