Hence, grab_file() fails for both cases. If an empty header file were included for checksum calculation, the following warning would be printed: WARNING: modpost: could not open ...: Invalid argument An empty file is a valid source file, so it should not fail. Use read_text_file() instead. It can read a zero-length file. Then, parse_file() will succeed with doing nothing. Going forward, the first case (it cannot read the file) is a fatal error. If the source file from which an object was compiled is missing, something went wrong.
