[PATCH v1 0/3] module: Don't fail module loading when setting ro_after_init section RO failed

[Christophe Leroy]

This series reworks module loading to avoid leaving the module in a
stale state when protecting ro_after_init section fails.

Once module init has succeded it is too late to cancel loading.
If setting ro_after_init data section to read-only fails, all we can
do is to inform the user through a warning. This is what patch 2 does.

Then patch 3 tries to go a bit further by testing the ability to write
protect ro-after-init section prior to initialising the module.

Changes between RFC and v1:
- Patch 2: Fixed comment from Petr about __func__
- Patch 3: Expanded the commit message based on feedback from RFC series

Christophe Leroy (3):
  module: Split module_enable_rodata_ro()
  module: Don't fail module loading when setting ro_after_init section
    RO failed
  module: pre-test setting ro_after_init data read-only
