Why this module verification failed message occurred from only mlx_compat modules?

Hello HC,

Thank you for posting your question on the NVIDIA/Mellanox Community.

The message you are getting is a harmless message from the kernel itself and can be ignored. You can resolve this by following the instructions on how-to Enroll Mellanox’s x.509 Public Key On your Systems → https://docs.mellanox.com/display/OFEDv502180/UEFI+Secure+Boot#UEFISecureBoot-RemovingSignaturefromKernelModules

Note: even if you strip the module if his signature, you will still see this harmless message.

Thank you,
