From a006050575745ca2be25118b90f1c37f454ac542 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Tue, 2 Feb 2021 13:13:25 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] module: use RCU to synchronize find_module Allow for a RCU-sched critical section around find_module, following the lower level find_module_all helper, and switch the two callers outside of module.c to use such a RCU-sched critical section instead of module_mutex.
