From a6e6abd575fcbe6572ebc7a70ad616406d206fa8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rusty Russell Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2009 13:05:31 -0600 Subject: module: remove module_text_address() Impact: Replace and remove risky (non-EXPORTed) API module_text_address() returns a pointer to the module, which given locking improvements in module.c, is useless except to test for NULL: 1) If the module can't go away, use __module_text_address. 2) Otherwise, just use is_module_text_address().
