From: Rusty Russell Date: Wed, 17 Apr 2013 03:50:03 +0000 (+0930) Subject: module: don't unlink the module until we've removed all exposure. X-Git-Tag: omap-for-v3.10/dt-fixes-for-merge-window~36^2~2 X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=944a1fa01266aa9ace607f29551b73c41e9440e9;p=pandora-kernel.git module: don't unlink the module until we've removed all exposure. Otherwise we get a race between unload and reload of the same module: the new module doesn't see the old one in the list, but then fails because it can't register over the still-extant entries in sysfs: [ 103.981925] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 103.986902] WARNING: at fs/sysfs/dir.c:536 sysfs_add_one+0xab/0xd0() [ 103.993606] Hardware name: CrownBay Platform [ 103.998075] sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/module/pch_gbe' [ 104.004784] Modules linked in: pch_gbe(+) [last unloaded: pch_gbe] [ 104.011362] Pid: 3021, comm: modprobe Tainted: G W 3.9.0-rc5+ #5 [ 104.018662] Call Trace: [ 104.021286] [] warn_slowpath_common+0x6d/0xa0 [ 104.026933] [] ? sysfs_add_one+0xab/0xd0 [ 104.031986] [] ? sysfs_add_one+0xab/0xd0 [ 104.037000] [] warn_slowpath_fmt+0x2e/0x30 [ 104.042188] [] sysfs_add_one+0xab/0xd0 [ 104.046982] [] create_dir+0x5e/0xa0 [ 104.051633] [] sysfs_create_dir+0x78/0xd0 [ 104.056774] [] kobject_add_internal+0x83/0x1f0 [ 104.062351] [] ? kvasprintf+0x46/0x60 [ 104.067231] [] kobject_add_varg+0x2d/0x50 [ 104.072450] [] kobject_init_and_add+0x27/0x30 [ 104.078075] [] mod_sysfs_setup+0x80/0x540 [ 104.083207] [] ? module_bug_finalize+0x51/0xc0 [ 104.088720] [] load_module+0x1429/0x18b0 We can teardown sysfs first, then to be sure, put the state in MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED so it's ignored while we deconstruct it.
