It took me a while to understand the intent of "exp->module == mod". This code goes back to 2003. [1] The commit is not in this git repository, and might be worth a little explanation. You can add EXPORT_SYMBOL() without having its definition in the same file (but you need to put a declaration). This is typical when EXPORT_SYMBOL() is added in a C file, but the actual implementation is in a separate assembly file. One example is arch/arm/kernel/armksyms.c In the old days, EXPORT_SYMBOL() was only available in C files (but this limitation does not exist any more). If you forget to add the definition, this error occurs. Add a separate, clearer message for this case. It should be an error even if KBUILD_MODPOST_WARN is given.
