[ruby-core:98692] [Ruby master Bug#16942] instance_method causes an infinite loop with prepend, include and private

Issue #16942 has been updated by jeremyevans0 (Jeremy Evans).


You get the same infinite loop in 2.7.1 if `M2` prepends a module (or otherwise has an origin class created for it):

```ruby
module M
  def x
  end
end

module M2
  include M
  private :x
  prepend Module.new
end

::Object.prepend(M2)

# infinite loop
p Object.instance_method(:x)
```

It's just in master all modules that are included or prepended into other modules or classes automatically have an origin class, so the bug in `instance_method` is now exposed in additional cases.

----------------------------------------
`instance_method` causes an infinite loop with the following code.


```ruby
module M
  def x
  end
end

module M2
  include M
  private :x
end

::Object.prepend(M2)

# infinite loop
p Object.instance_method(:x)
```


I've confirmed it on the master branch. The commit is 7f3efee102.
But `instance_method` works correctly with Ruby 2.7.1.
