[PATCH v2 25/28] kprobes: Use RCU in all users of __module_text_address().

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

 



__module_text_address() can be invoked within a RCU section, there is no
requirement to have preemption disabled.

Replace the preempt_disable() section around __module_text_address()
with RCU.
