Subject: [PATCH 04/13] module: use RCU to synchronize find_module
Date:   Tue,  2 Feb 2021 13:13:25 +0100
Message-Id: <20210202121334.1361503-5-hch@lst.de>
In-Reply-To: <20210202121334.1361503-1-hch@lst.de>

Allow for a RCU-sched critical section around find_module, following
the lower level find_module_all helper, and switch the two callers
outside of module.c to use such a RCU-sched critical section instead
of module_mutex.
