Minor namespace nit: when introducing new locking wrappers please
standardize on the XYZ_lock()/XYZ_unlock() nomenclature, i.e.:
modules_lock()
...
modules_unlock()
Similarly to the mutex_lock/unlock(&module_mutex) API that it is
wrapping.
Also, JFYI, the overwhelming majority of the modules related APIs use
module_*(), i.e. singular - not plural, so
module_lock()/module_unlock() would be the more canonical choice.
(But both sound fine to me)
Thanks,
Ingo
