Hmm, looks like sys_delete_module() is stuck trying to re-grab the
module_mutex. But who's holding it? We'd need a full task dump to see.
We do a stop_machine with the module mutex held, but not much else. This
doesn't seem like that. Do you have tracepoints, or dynamic debug enabled?
Puzzled,
Rusty.
