Huh? It's used by __module_text_address(), no?

Not after commit 2ece476a2346 ("module: replace module_layout with
module_memory") in -next. This patch should have a fixes tag, even if
the warning is currently hidden behind W=1.

Huh, I thought I had checked out latest -next, but must have not done so somehow :-) Mea culpa.

If it's only in -next then no Fixes needed, since there's no stable rev yet.

Jiapeng, in future, please make sure to cc the author of related commits when reporting stuff like this :-) It helps people to update their patches.

Song, you probably want to update your patch.
