[PATCH] crypto/async_pq: use __free_page() instead of put_page()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The addition of tracepoints to the page reference tracking had an
unfortunate side-effect in at least one driver that calls put_page
from its exit function, resulting in a link error:

`.exit.text' referenced in section `__jump_table' of crypto/built-in.o: defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of crypto/built-in.o

>From a cursory look at that this driver, it seems that it may be
doing the wrong thing here anyway, as the page gets allocated
using 'alloc_page()', and should be freed using '__free_page()'
rather than 'put_page()'.

With this patch, I no longer get any other build errors from the
page_ref patch, so hopefully we can assume that it's always wrong
to call any of those functions from __exit code, and that no other
driver does it.
