Hi Gerald,

I think you were right.  Joe found the below panic with his klp-convert
tests.

Your test was probably the early module loading case (normal relocations
before write protection), rather than the late case.  Not sure why that
would work, but calling s390_kernel_write() late definitely seems to be
broken.

Is there some other way to write vmalloc'ed s390 text without using
module_disable_ro()?
