Subject: [RFC PATCH v4 3/6] module: s390: keep mod_arch_specific for livepatch modules
Date: Wed,  3 Feb 2016 20:11:08 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1454548271-24923-4-git-send-email-jeyu@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1454548271-24923-1-git-send-email-jeyu@redhat.com>

Livepatch needs to utilize the symbol information contained in the
mod_arch_specific struct in order to be able to call the s390
apply_relocate_add() function to apply relocations. Keep a reference to
syminfo if the module is a livepatch module. Remove the redundant vfree()
in module_finalize() since module_arch_freeing_init() (which also frees
those structures) is called in do_init_module(). If the module isn't a
livepatch module, we free the structures in module_arch_freeing_init() as
usual.
