find_symbol is only used in module.c. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>CCing the livepatching ML, as this may or may not impact its users. AFAIK, the out-of-tree kpatch module had used find_symbol() in the past, I am not sure what its current status is. I suspect all of its functionality has been migrated to upstream livepatch already.
We still have symbol_get(), which is what I thought they were using. If only we could get rid of that export one day... thanks, greg k-h
