| |
If kobject state is not initialized, then its not even certain that kobject'name is initialized. Hence when accessing the kobject's name tread carefully.
A stupid module test like https://github.com/srikard/tests/blob/master/modules/kobject_test.c can panic the system.
With patch: We will see the correct warning.
