kernel/module.c: wakeup processes in module_wq on module unload
[ Upstream commit 5d603311615f612320bb77bd2a82553ef1ced5b7 ]
Fix the race between load and unload a kernel module.
sys_delete_module()
try_stop_module()
mod->state = _GOING
add_unformed_module()
old = find_module_all()
(old->state == _GOING =>
wait_event_interruptible())
During pre-condition
finished_loading() rets 0
schedule()
(never gets waken up later)
free_module()
mod->state = _UNFORMED
list_del_rcu(&mod->list)
(dels mod from "modules" list)
return
The race above leads to modprobe hanging forever on loading
a module.
Error paths on loading module call wake_up_all(&module_wq) after
freeing module, so let's do the same on straight module unload.
Fixes: 6e6de3dee51a ("kernel/module.c: Only return -EEXIST for modules that have finished loading")
