Down at the bottom of sys_init_module we have: /* Drop initial reference. */ module_put(mod); unwind_remove_table(mod->unwind_info, 1); module_free(mod, mod->module_init); ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ mod->module_init = NULL; mod->init_size = 0; mod->init_text_size = 0; mutex_unlock(&module_mutex); return 0; Which frees the memory for the .init sections.
