[RESEND PATCH v2] modules: wait do_free_init correctly

flat view
STALE967d

From: Changbin Du <hidden>
Date: 2024-01-29 02:03:21
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: module support, the rest · Maintainers: Luis Chamberlain, Petr Pavlu, Daniel Gomez, Sami Tolvanen, Linus Torvalds

The commit 1a7b7d922081 ("modules: Use vmalloc special flag") moves
do_free_init() into a global workqueue instead of call_rcu(). So now
rcu_barrier() can not ensure that do_free_init has completed. We should
wait it via flush_work().

Without this fix, we still could encounter false positive reports in
W+X checking, and rcu synchronization is unnecessary.

Fixes: 1a7b7d922081 ("modules: Use vmalloc special flag")
