The patch titled Subject: init: allow blacklisting of module_init functions has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was init-allow-blacklisting-of-module_init-functions.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Prarit Bhargava <prarit@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: init: allow blacklisting of module_init functions sprint_symbol_no_offset() returns the string "function_name [module_name]" where [module_name] is not printed for built in kernel functions. This means that the blacklisting code will fail when comparing module function names with the extended string. This patch adds the functionality to block a module's module_init() function by finding the space in the string and truncating the comparison to that length.
