[PATCH v2 0/6] module/dups: Fix a use-after-free and improve the code

From: Petr Pavlu <petr.pavlu@suse.com>
Date: 2026-07-23 08:26:43
Also in: lkml

Simplify how the kmod dups code informs duplicate requests about the
result, fix a potential use-after-free when waiting on a duplicate request,
and make several general improvements to the code.

Note that the use-after-free fix depends on the code simplification
implemented in the first patch.

---
Changes in v2:
- Fix handling of concurrent request_module_nowait() and request_module()
  calls.
- Avoid unnecessary kmod_dup_req allocations.
- Avoid mixing goto with scope-based cleanup.
- Link to v1: https://patch.msgid.link/20260720121621.750661-1-petr.pavlu@suse.com
