+Subject: module: fix symbol waiting when module fails before init
+X-Git-Tag: v3.7-rc1~2^2~33

+module: fix symbol waiting when module fails before init
+
+We use resolve_symbol_wait(), which blocks if the module containing
+the symbol is still loading.  However:
+
+1) The module_wq we use is only woken after calling the modules' init
+   function, but there are other failure paths after the module is
+   placed in the linked list where we need to do the same thing.
+
+2) wake_up() only wakes one waiter, and our waitqueue is shared by all
+   modules, so we need to wake them all.
+
+3) wake_up_all() doesn't imply a memory barrier: I feel happier calling
+   it after we've grabbed and dropped the module_mutex, not just after
+   the state assignment.
