Subject[PATCH 0/3] module stable fixes.
Date
Luis' async_probe is a recent issue, but the /proc/kallsyms vs
module insertion race has been the for a long time, maybe forever.

I expect some pain in backporting that fix, but mainly textual,
and there's no simpler fix (grabbing the mutex for /proc/kallsyms
would solve the reported case, but not fix it for the other kallsyms
users).

If no complaints, I'll send Linus a pull req.

Thanks!
Rusty.

Luis R. Rodriguez (1):
modules: fix modparam async_probe request

Rusty Russell (2):
module: wrapper for symbol name.
modules: fix longstanding /proc/kallsyms vs module insertion race.
