[PATCH] mm: do not export const kfree and kstrdup variants

From: Sergey Senozhatsky
Date: Tue Sep 24 2024 - 01:04:15 EST


Both kfree_const() and kstrdup_const() use __start_rodata
and __end_rodata, which do not work for modules. This is
especially important for kfree_const(). Stop exporting
these functions, as they cannot be used in the modules.
