Revision da11508eb0b00740c7b05290d80d3f38618af4e8 authored by Linus Torvalds on 18 March 2015, 17:46:39 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 18 March 2015, 17:46:39 UTC
Pull livepatching fix from Jiri Kosina:

 - fix for potential race with module loading, from Petr Mladek.

   The race is very unlikely to be seen in real world and has been found
   by code inspection, but should be fixed for 4.0 anyway.

  livepatch: Fix subtle race with coming and going modules
