From ff7e0055bb5ddbbb320cdd8dfd3e18672bddd2ad Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Lutomirski Date: Sat, 16 Aug 2014 04:13:37 +0930 Subject: [PATCH] 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.
