Since smp_text_poke_single() does not expect there is another
text_poke request is queued, it can make text_poke_array not
sorted or cause a buffer overflow on the text_poke_array.vec[].
This will cause an Oops in int3 because of bsearch failing;
CPU 0 CPU 1 CPU 2
----- ----- -----
smp_text_poke_batch_add()
smp_text_poke_single() <<-- Adds out of order
<int3>
[Fails o find address
in text_poke_array ]
OOPS!
Or unhandled page fault because of a buffer overflow;
CPU 0 CPU 1

smp_text_poke_batch_add() <<+

smp_text_poke_batch_add() <<-- Adds TEXT_POKE_ARRAY_MAX times.
smp_text_poke_single() {
__smp_text_poke_batch_add() <<-- Adds entry at
TEXT_POKE_ARRAY_MAX + 1
smp_text_poke_batch_finish()
[Unhandled page fault because
text_poke_array.nr_entries is
overwritten]
BUG!
}
Use smp_text_poke_batch_add() instead of __smp_text_poke_batch_add()
so that it correctly flush the queue if needed.

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.
