From 461e34aed0550fee706a9a28fb453830b5079ea0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masami Hiramatsu Date: Mon, 10 Nov 2014 09:27:29 +1030 Subject: [PATCH] module: Unlink module with RCU synchronizing instead of stop_machine Unlink module from module list with RCU synchronizing instead of using stop_machine(). Since module list is already protected by rcu, we don't need stop_machine() anymore.
