Hi David, I check the history, the lib/once.c is from net/core/utils.c

     net: move net_get_random_once to lib

This bug is found in our product test, we want to make sure that whether 
this solution

is correct or not, so could David or any others help to review this patch.

Many thinks.

Thanks for the patch.

I see that it got marked as not applicable for the net trees:
<https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/20210622022138.23048-1-wangkefeng.wang@huawei.com/>

Back then I added this code via the net/ tree thus I think it should get
picked up nonetheless hopefully.

Regarding your patch, I think it mostly looks fine:

It might be worthwhile to increment the reference counter inside the
preempt disabled bracket in find_module_by_key (and thus also rename
that function to make this fact more clear).

The other option would be to use the macro DO_ONCE and always pass in
THIS_MODULE from there, increment its ref counter in once_disable_jump.
This might be more canonical.

Thanks and sorry for the delay,
Hannes
