There was a discussion about SET_MODULE_OWNER here on the list, once. You can find it here:
I know about it and in fact Rusty is the one that told me to do what I did with SET_MODULE_OWNER.
FACT: SET_MODULE_OWNER() tracks how to set the module reference for a struct netdevice.
It always lived in netdevice.h and always served exactly this purpose. So when I deleted ->owner from struct netdevice, SET_MODULE_OWNER became a nop.
Therefore, it was a complete error for anyone else to start using this macro for other structures. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
