If the test added in commitb5ffbd1396("sysctl: move the extra1/2 boundary check of u8 to sysctl_check_table_array") is run as a module, a lingering reference to the module is left behind, and a 'sysctl -a' leads to a panic. To reproduce CONFIG_KUNIT=y CONFIG_SYSCTL_KUNIT_TEST=m Then run these commands: modprobe sysctl-test rmmod sysctl-test sysctl -a The panic varies but generally looks something like this: BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffa4571c0c7db4 #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page PGD 100000067 P4D 100000067 PUD 100351067 PMD 114f5e067 PTE 0 Oops: Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI ... ... ...

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
