[PATCH] module: initialize module dynamic debug later

From: Rusty Russell
Date: Wed Jun 16 2010 - 00:03:59 EST


From: Yehuda Sadeh <yehuda@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

We should initialize the module dynamic debug datastructures
only after determining that the module is not loaded yet. This
fixes a bug that introduced in 2.6.35-rc2, where when a trying
to load a module twice, we also load it's dynamic printing data
twice which causes all sorts of nasty issues. Also handle
the dynamic debug cleanup later on failure.
