[I reported this a couple of months back. Got no feedback on it. If it's just a DDT (don't do that) or a user error, please say so.]
Summary: After I mount usbdevfs 2 times, and umount it 1 time, the usbcore module use count prevents it from being rmmod-ed.
This is test12-pre2.
1. Start by loading usbcore and uhci modules:
[root@dragon rdunlap]# lsmod Module Size Used by uhci 18848 0 (unused) usbcore 50656 0 [uhci]
and the /proc/bus/usb mount point is empty:
[rdunlap@dragon rdunlap]$ ls -l /proc/bus/usb total 0
2. I enter "mount usb", which uses this entry from /etc/fstab: usb /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs defaults,user 0 0
'mount' then tells me (usb line extracted):
usb on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
and 'lsmod' tells me:
[root@dragon rdunlap]# lsmod Module Size Used by uhci 18848 0 (unused) usbcore 50656 1 [uhci]
3. Some time passes. I mount usbdevfs again, by entering:
[root@dragon rdunlap]# mount -t usbdevfs usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb
'lsmod' now tells me:
[root@dragon rdunlap]# lsmod Module Size Used by uhci 18848 0 (unused) usbcore 50656 2 [uhci]
and 'mount' tells me:
usb on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) usbdevfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw)
4. I 'umount usbdevfs'. Now 'lsmod' tells me:
[root@dragon rdunlap]# umount usbdevfs [root@dragon rdunlap]# lsmod Module Size Used by uhci 18848 0 (unused) usbcore 50656 1 [uhci]
and 'mount' shows no usb or usbdevfs entries listed.
Now I rmmod uhci and 'lsmod' tells me:
[root@dragon rdunlap]# rmmod uhci [root@dragon rdunlap]# lsmod Module Size Used by usbcore 50656 1
and I can't rmmod usbcore. The /proc/bus/usb mount point is still populated and the 'drivers' file contains correct data:
[rdunlap@dragon rdunlap]$ ls -l /proc/bus/usb total 0 -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Nov 29 16:17 devices -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Nov 29 16:17 drivers
[rdunlap@dragon rdunlap]$ cat /proc/bus/usb/drivers hub usbdevfs [rdunlap@dragon rdunlap]$
So is this just a case of root being able to shoot self in foot or a proc-fs or module counter problem?
Notes: 1. Reversing the order of steps 3 and 4 gives the same results. 2. Changing the device name in 'mount -t usbdevfs usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb' to be 'mount -t usbdevfs usbfs /proc/bus/usb' gives the same results (when followed by 'umount usbfs').
