From a6aeb739974ec73e5217c75a7c008a688d3d5cf1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dmitry Antipov Date: Wed, 7 May 2025 09:50:44 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] module: ensure that kobject_put() is safe for module type kobjects In 'lookup_or_create_module_kobject()', an internal kobject is created using 'module_ktype'. So call to 'kobject_put()' on error handling path causes an attempt to use an uninitialized completion pointer in 'module_kobject_release()'. In this scenario, we just want to release kobject without an extra synchronization required for a regular module unloading process, so adding an extra check whether 'complete()' is actually required makes 'kobject_put()' safe.
