Are you sure it actually is the patch which does what
you have described?
And where can one find the patch, btw?
> Name: Module init reentry fix
> Author: Rusty Russell
> Status: Tested on 2.5.51
>
> D: This changes the code to drop the module_mutex() before calling the
> D: module's init function, so module init functions can call
> D: request_module(). This was trivial before someone broke the module
> D: code to start non-live. Now it requires us to keep info on the
> D: exact module state.
