Subject: [PATCH 1/6] liveupdate: Protect file handler list with rwsem
Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2026 22:50:44 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260317025049.494931-2-pasha.tatashin@soleen.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260317025049.494931-1-pasha.tatashin@soleen.com>

Because liveupdate file handlers will eventually no longer hold a
module reference when registered, we must ensure that the access to
the handler list is protected against concurrent module unloading.
