My understanding is that rcu is needed to prevent module from being freed.
It should be related to:
static void free_module(struct module *mod)
{
[...]
/* Now we can delete it from the lists */
mutex_lock(&module_mutex);
/* Unlink carefully: kallsyms could be walking list. */
list_del_rcu(&mod->list);
[...]
}
I am sorry for the late reply. I was busy and I thought that it was
related to the refactoring. I hoped that peopled doing the refactoring
would answer.
