The patch titled
Fix race between rmmod and cat /proc/kallsyms
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
fix-race-between-rmmod-and-cat-proc-kallsyms.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: Fix race between rmmod and cat /proc/kallsyms
From: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@xxxxx>
module_get_kallsym() leaks "struct module *" outside of module_mutex which is
no-no, because module can dissapear right after mutex unlock.
Copy all needed information from inside module_mutex into caller-supplied
space.
[bunk@xxxxxxxxx: is_exported() can now become static]
