[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")
