[PATCH v2] riscv: Safely remove entries from relocation list

Charlie Jenkins charlie at rivosinc.com
Tue Nov 21 14:50:37 PST 2023


Use the safe versions of list and hlist iteration to safely remove
entries from the module relocation lists. To allow mutliple threads to
load modules concurrently, move relocation list pointers onto the stack
rather than using global variables.

Fixes: 8fd6c5142395 ("riscv: Add remaining module relocations")
Reported-by: Ron Economos <re at w6rz.net>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-riscv/444de86a-7e7c-4de7-5d1d-c1c40eefa4ba@w6rz.net
Signed-off-by: Charlie Jenkins <charlie at rivosinc.com>

Changes in v2:
- Support linking modules concurrently across threads.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231120-module_linking_freeing-v1-1-fff81d7289fc@rivosinc.com
