Subject: [PATCH] module: fix reference to mod->percpu after freeing module.
Date: Mon, 31 May 2010 19:53:50 +0930	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <201005311953.51694.rusty@rustcorp.com.au> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <201005272357.28141.rjw@sisk.pl>

Rafael sees a sometimes crash at precpu_modfree from kernel/module.c; it
only occurred with another (since-reverted) patch, but that patch simply
changed timing to uncover this bug, it was otherwise unrelated.

The comment about the mod being freed is self-explanatory, but neither
Tejun nor I read it.  This bug was introduced in 259354deaa, after it
had previously been fixed in 6e2b75740b.  How embarrassing.
