This commit doesnt improve things, last commit was working, next one still breaks, despite this "fix". I keep it separate to isolate it and the reasoning for review, which now stated, will be refuted as needed. ;-) Locking review: ddebug_zpool_init(), like other ddebug_*_init() routines, does no locking itself. Unlike them, it runs later, at late_init. This patch doesnt fix the kernel panic that HEAD+1 does. ddebug_callsite_get/put() are called as a pair under mutex-lock for all 3 callsite users. 2 of them; ddebug_change() and dynamic_emit_prefix(), do their own ABBA-ish LGPU (Lock-Get-Put-Unlock). ddebug_proc_show() does the GP part, and is wrapped by ddebug_proc_start|stop() with LU. ddebug_add_module() does LU to protect list_add(), HEAD~1 added ddebug_zpool_add() loop inside that protection. This commit adds locking to ddebug_zpool_init(), around the loop of ddebug_zpool_add(), to match the locking in ddebug_add_module().
