From: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 45dd9bc75d9adc9483f0c7d662ba6e73ed698a0b upstream. modpost reports section mismatch errors/warnings: WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o: section mismatch in reference: svm_hv_hardware_setup (section: .text) -> (unknown) (section: .init.data) WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o: section mismatch in reference: svm_hv_hardware_setup (section: .text) -> (unknown) (section: .init.data) WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o: section mismatch in reference: svm_hv_hardware_setup (section: .text) -> (unknown) (section: .init.data) This "(unknown) (section: .init.data)" all refer to svm_x86_ops. Tag svm_hv_hardware_setup() with __init to fix a modpost warning as the non-stub implementation accesses __initdata (svm_x86_ops), i.e. would generate a use-after-free if svm_hv_hardware_setup() were actually invoked post-init. The helper is only called from svm_hardware_setup(), which is also __init, i.e. lack of __init is benign other than the modpost warning.
