Subject: [PATCH] x86/alternatives: free smp_alt_modules when enable smp
Date: Fri, 27 Oct 2017 15:18:12 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1509088692-9971-1-git-send-email-zhouchengming1@huawei.com> (raw)

In the current code, we don't free smp_alt_modules when enable smp,
so have to wait module unload to call alternatives_smp_module_del()
to free its smp_alt_module. This strategy has shortcomings.
We can make sure smp_alt_modules will be useless after enable smp,
so free it all. And alternatives_smp_module_del() can return directly
when !uniproc_patched to avoid a list traversal.
