Hence, modules cannot use symbols annotated __init. The access to a freed symbol may end up with kernel panic. modpost used to detect it, but it has been broken for a decade. Recently, I fixed modpost so it started to warn it again, then this showed up in linux-next builds. There are two ways to fix it: - Remove __init - Remove EXPORT_SYMBOL I chose the latter for this case because the only in-tree call-site, drivers/net/phy/phy_device.c is never compiled as modular. (CONFIG_PHYLIB is boolean) Fixes: 90eff9096c01 ("net: phy: Allow splitting MDIO bus/device support from PHYs") Reported-by: Stephen Rothwell Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Reviewed-by: Florian Fainelli Reviewed-by: Russell King (Oracle) Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin --- drivers/net/phy/mdio_bus.c | 1 - 1 file changed, 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/phy/mdio_bus.c b/drivers/net/phy/mdio_bus.c index c416ab1d2b00..c1cbdac4b376 100644 --- a/drivers/net/phy/mdio_bus.c +++ b/drivers/net/phy/mdio_bus.c @@ -1008,7 +1008,6 @@ int __init mdio_bus_init(void) return ret; } -EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(mdio_bus_init); #if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PHYLIB) void mdio_bus_exit(void) -- 2.35.1
