Subject: [PATCH] x86/alternatives: add missing mutex lock in,alternatives_text_reserved
Date: Mon, 12 Sep 2016 15:18:13 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <57D656B5.2010308@huawei.com> (raw)
A race between alternatives_text_reserved and alternatives_smp_module_del
occured when traversing the global list smp_alt_modules in 3.4 kernel. It
would casue a panic while reading smp_alt_modules->mod in
alternatives_text_reserved func.

It also seems to exist in mainline.
This patch adds the mutex lock smp_alt to fix it.
