From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Enabling the tracer selftest triggers occasionally the warning in text_poke(), which warns when the to be modified page is not marked reserved. The reason is that the tracer selftest installs kprobes on functions marked __init for testing. These probes are removed after the tests, but that removal schedules the delayed kprobes_optimizer work, which will do the actual text poke. If the work is executed after the init text is freed, then the warning triggers. The bug can be reproduced reliably when the work delay is increased. Flush the optimizer work and wait for the optimizing/unoptimizing lists to become empty before returning from the kprobes tracer selftest. That ensures that all operations which were queued due to the probes removal have completed.
