^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The stub function name doesn't match the declaration. Should this be
update_ftrace_direct_mod() instead of modify_ftrace_direct_hash()?

^^^^
Does __ftrace_hash_update_ipmodify() accept a fourth argument? The
function signature shows it only takes three parameters (ops, old_hash,
new_hash). This looks like a compilation error.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Can this deadlock when do_direct_lock is true? Looking at the code:
update_ftrace_direct_mod() with do_direct_lock=true
-> mutex_lock(&direct_mutex)
-> register_ftrace_function_nolock(&tmp_ops) succeeds
-> __ftrace_hash_update_ipmodify() fails
-> goto out (still holding direct_mutex)
-> unregister_ftrace_function(&tmp_ops)
-> cleanup_direct_functions_after_ipmodify()
-> mutex_lock(&direct_mutex) /* deadlock */
The unregister path tries to reacquire direct_mutex that we're already
holding.
