From 218ce7351413b8287a80fab1d7b94906a5559f01 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Tue, 25 May 2010 16:48:30 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Revert "module: drop the lock while waiting for module to complete initialization." This reverts commit 480b02df3aa9f07d1c7df0cd8be7a5ca73893455, since Rafael reports that it causes occasional kernel paging request faults in load_module(). Dropping the module lock and re-taking it deep in the call-chain is definitely not the right thing to do. That just turns the mutex from a lock into a "random non-locking data structure" that doesn't actually protect what it's supposed to protect. Requested-and-tested-by: Rafael J.
