[PATCH v3 5/8] module: Add module_for_each_mod() function

There is a newer version of this series
[PATCH v3 5/8] module: Add module_for_each_mod() function
Posted by Steven Rostedt 11 months, 1 week ago 
From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

The tracing system needs a way to save all the currently loaded modules
and their addresses into persistent memory so that it can evaluate the
addresses on a reboot from a crash. When the persistent memory trace
starts, it will load the module addresses and names into the persistent
memory. To do so, it will call the module_for_each_mod() function and pass
it a function and data structure to get called on each loaded module. Then
it can record the memory.

This only implements that function.

Luis,

Can I get an Acked-by from you?

This follows the changes you have in linux-next.

Thanks,

Hi Steven,

I'm not Luis, but we started rotating the modules maintenance every six
months and I'm currently looking after the modules tree. I see Luis
seemed ok with the change in the previous discussion and the patch looks
reasonable to me.

Acked-by: Petr Pavlu <petr.pavlu@suse.com>

Ah, you may want to update the MAINTAINERS file. Right now it has:

M:      Luis Chamberlain <mcgrof@kernel.org>
R:      Petr Pavlu <petr.pavlu@suse.com>
R:      Sami Tolvanen <samitolvanen@google.com>
R:      Daniel Gomez <da.gomez@samsung.com>

Which puts Luis as maintainer and you as a reviewer. If you rotate
maintainerships, you should update that to have an M: next to all that are
in that rotation.
