Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 next]module: Fix mod->mkobj.kobj potentially freed
too early
DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE helps to find the issue attached below.
After some investigation, it seems the reason is:
The mod->mkobj.kobj(ffffffffa01600d0 below) is freed together with mod
itself by module_free(mod, mod->module_core) in free_module(). However,
its children still hold references to it, as the delay caused by
DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE. So when the child('holders' below) tries to
decrease the reference count to its parent in kobject_del(), BUG happens
as it tries to access already freed memory.
v2:
Greg suggested to make the kobject as a pointer. But it seems a little
hard to make kobj(kobject) embedded in mkobj(module_kobject) a pointer,
as that seems to cause getting the mkobj from the kobj impossible --
to_module_kobject() is used in several places to derive mkobj from its
member kobj.
So in this version, I made the whole mkobj(module_kobject) as a pointer
in mod(module).
The mkobj is then allocated in mod_sysfs_init(), and freed in its member
kobj's release function -- it seems that there is no mkobj usage after
its kobj is released?
