Currently Rust kernel modules have their init code placed in the `.text` section of the .ko file. I don't think this causes any real problems for Rust modules as long as all code called during initialization lives in `.text`. However, if a Rust `init_module()` function (that lives in `.text`) calls a function marked with `__init` (in C) or `#[link_section = ".init.text"]` (in Rust), then a warning is generated by modpost because that function lives in `.init.text`. For example: WARNING: modpost: fs/bcachefs/bcachefs: section mismatch in reference: init_module+0x6 (section: .text) -> _RNvXCsj7d3tFpT5JS_15bcachefs_moduleNtB2_8BcachefsNtCsjDtqRIL3JAG_6kernel6Module4init (section: .init.text) I ran into this while experimenting with converting the bcachefs kernel module from C to Rust. The module's `init()`, written in Rust, calls C functions like `bch2_vfs_init()` which are placed in `.init.text`. This patch places the macro-generated `init_module()` Rust function in the `.init.text` section. It also marks `init_module()` as unsafe--now it may not be called after module initialization completes because it may be freed already. Note that this is not enough on its own to actually get all the module initialization code in that section. The module author must still add the `#[link_section = ".init.text"]` attribute to the Rust `init()` in the `impl kernel::Module` block in order to then call `__init` functions. However, this patch enables module authors do so, when previously it would not be possible (without warnings).
