[RFC PATCH 3/3] module: pre-test setting ro_after_init data read-only

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

 



To be on the safe side, try to set ro_after_init data section readonly
at the same time as rodata. If it fails it will likely fail again
later so let's cancel module loading while we still can do it.
If it doesn't fail, put it back to read-only, continue module loading
and cross fingers so that it still works after module init. Then it
should in principle never fail so add a WARN_ON_ONCE() to get a big
fat warning in case it happens anyway.
