Hello,
I know that I'm late to the party, but mount points is not only
problem with d_revalidate. With your patch in place module below gets
refcount incremented by two every time I do 'ls -la /proc/fs/vmblock'.
#include <linux/kernel.h>
#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/proc_fs.h>
static int vmblockinit(void) {
struct proc_dir_entry *controlProcDirEntry;
/* Create /proc/fs/vmblock */
controlProcDirEntry = proc_mkdir("vmblock", proc_root_fs);
if (!controlProcDirEntry) {
printk(KERN_DEBUG "Bad...\n");
return -EINVAL;
}
controlProcDirEntry->owner = THIS_MODULE;
return 0;
}
static void vmblockexit(void) {
remove_proc_entry("vmblock", proc_root_fs);
}
module_init(vmblockinit);
module_exit(vmblockexit);
(code comes from VMware's vmblock module,
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=204462)
Thanks,
Petr
