__ex_table ends up with two entries:

0010 10000000 0a000000 12000000 0a000000 ................

The first is for the __put_user in .text (extable_not_init()) and the second is for the one in .init.text (init()).

Depending on how the module gets allocated, the one referring to .init.text may be first or last.

Hmm, how about the following? :-)

struct exception_table_entry *p = mod->extable;

for (;p <= mod->extable+mod->num_exentries; p++ )
if (with_in_module_init(p->insn, mod))
trim_it(p);
