From: Andy Lutomirski Date: Fri, 15 Aug 2014 18:43:37 +0000 (+0930) Subject: module: Clean up ro/nx after early module load failures X-Git-Tag: v4.9.8~5856^2 X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ff7e0055bb5ddbbb320cdd8dfd3e18672bddd2ad;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-rpi3.git module: Clean up ro/nx after early module load failures The commit 4982223e51e8 module: set nx before marking module MODULE_STATE_COMING. introduced a regression: if a module fails to parse its arguments or if mod_sysfs_setup fails, then the module's memory will be freed while still read-only. Anything that reuses that memory will crash as soon as it tries to write to it.
