Subject: [PATCH 5.10 093/462] module: Extend the preempt disabled section in dereference_symbol_descriptor().
Date: Tue, 11 Mar 2025 15:55:59 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250311145802.027766156@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250311145758.343076290@linuxfoundation.org>

5.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>

[ Upstream commit a145c848d69f9c6f32008d8319edaa133360dd74 ]

dereference_symbol_descriptor() needs to obtain the module pointer
belonging to pointer in order to resolve that pointer.
The returned mod pointer is obtained under RCU-sched/ preempt_disable()
guarantees and needs to be used within this section to ensure that the
module is not removed in the meantime.

Extend the preempt_disable() section to also cover
dereference_module_function_descriptor().
