| |
I recently compiled 2.4.0-test10-pre3, and was torture-testing it...I hadnt played any MIDI files in a while, so while one was playing (on my waveblaster GM daughterboard, thru UART401), the gave an Oops.
After doing some detective work, I found that the culprit was a small daemon I had running that does a "double-rmmod -a" every X seconds. It was rmmod'ing the uart401 module while it was in use. I confirmed that while the MIDI file was playing, the lsmod usage count was zero, and I could manually remove it. (causing an instant oops)
It looks like the UART401 (this is a Sound Blaster 16 ISA non-PnP card) module is not marking itself used while it's being accessed.
