I expect some pain in backporting that fix, but mainly textual, and there's no simpler fix (grabbing the mutex for /proc/kallsyms would solve the reported case, but not fix it for the other kallsyms users). If no complaints, I'll send Linus a pull req. Thanks! Rusty. Luis R. Rodriguez (1): modules: fix modparam async_probe request Rusty Russell (2): module: wrapper for symbol name. modules: fix longstanding /proc/kallsyms vs module insertion race. include/linux/module.h | 19 ++++---- kernel/module.c | 120 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------------- 2 files changed, 85 insertions(+), 54 deletions(-) -- 2.5.0
