From 38f087de8947700d3b06d3d1594490e0f611c5d1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rasmus Villemoes Date: Fri, 12 Mar 2021 11:30:26 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] devtmpfs: fix placement of complete() call Calling complete() from within the __init function is wrong - theoretically, the init process could proceed all the way to freeing the init mem before the devtmpfsd thread gets to execute the return instruction in devtmpfs_setup(). In practice, it seems to be harmless as gcc inlines devtmpfs_setup() into devtmpfsd(). So the calls of the __init functions init_chdir() etc. actually happen from devtmpfs_setup(), but the __ref on that one silences modpost (it's all right, because those calls happen before the complete()). But it does make the __init annotation of the setup function moot, which we'll fix in a subsequent patch.
