From: Masahiro Yamada Date: Mon, 6 Jun 2022 04:53:55 +0000 (+0900) Subject: net: ipv6: unexport __init-annotated seg6_hmac_init() X-Git-Tag: baikal/aarch64/sdk6.1~3763^2~15^2 X-Git-Url: https://git.baikalelectronics.ru/sdk/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f2ad1b88a7272de1089cd826a4fa9e112bae0c9e;p=kernel.git net: ipv6: unexport __init-annotated seg6_hmac_init() EXPORT_SYMBOL and __init is a bad combination because the .init.text section is freed up after the initialization. Hence, modules cannot use symbols annotated __init. The access to a freed symbol may end up with kernel panic. modpost used to detect it, but it has been broken for a decade. Recently, I fixed modpost so it started to warn it again, then this showed up in linux-next builds. There are two ways to fix it: - Remove __init - Remove EXPORT_SYMBOL I chose the latter for this case because the caller (net/ipv6/seg6.c) and the callee (net/ipv6/seg6_hmac.c) belong to the same module. It seems an internal function call in ipv6.ko.
