[PATCH] ftrace: Use rcu_assign_pointer() for tmp_ops filter hash
From: Leon Hwang
Date: Fri Sep 11 2026 - 10:41:12 EST
tmp_ops.func_hash->filter_hash is annotated __rcu, but
update_ftrace_direct_mod() assigns hash to it directly. Sparse reports an
address-space mismatch.
Use rcu_assign_pointer() for the assignment.
Fixes: 50b35c9e50a8 ("ftrace: Use hash argument for tmp_ops in update_ftrace_direct_mod")
Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@xxxxxxxxx>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202609110704.Q3M5vCDV-lkp@xxxxxxxxx/
