Re: module loader dead code removal and cleanups v3

+++ Christoph Hellwig [02/02/21 13:13 +0100]:

Hi all,

this series removes support for long term unused export types and cleans up various loose ends in the module loader.

Changes since v2:

• clean up klp_find_object_symbol a bit
• remove the now unused module_assert_mutex helper

Changes since v1:

• move struct symsearch to module.c
• rework drm to not call find_module at all
• allow RCU-sched locking for find_module
• keep find_module as a public API instead of module_loaded
• update a few comments and commit logs

Diffstat:

Queued on modules-next (along with the updated patch 10).

Thanks everyone,

Jessica
