net: ipv6: unexport __init-annotated seg6_hmac_init()
stable inclusion from stable-v5.10.122 commit 5d9c1b081ad28c852a97e10dd75412546497694a category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I5W6OE Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=5d9c1b081ad28c852a97e10dd75412546497694a -------------------------------- [ Upstream commit 5801f064 ] EXPORT_SYMBOL and __init is a bad combination because the .init.text section is freed up after the initialization. Hence, modules cannot use symbols annotated __init. The access to a freed symbol may end up with kernel panic. modpost used to detect it, but it has been broken for a decade. Recently, I fixed modpost so it started to warn it again, then this showed up in linux-next builds. There are two ways to fix it: - Remove __init - Remove EXPORT_SYMBOL I chose the latter for this case because the caller (net/ipv6/seg6.c) and the callee (net/ipv6/seg6_hmac.c) belong to the same module. It seems an internal function call in ipv6.ko. Fixes: bf355b8d ("ipv6: sr: add core files for SR HMAC support") Reported-by:Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Signed-off-by:
