After loading the module piix.o for some Intel IDE chips, the usage count is 1 even if the module isn't used, so the module cannot be unloaded.
I think this is because of the following code in linux/drivers/ide/pci/piix.c:
/** * piix_init_one - called when a PIIX is found * @dev: the piix device * @id: the matching pci id * * Called when the PCI registration layer (or the IDE initialization) * finds a device matching our IDE device tables. */ static int __devinit piix_init_one(struct pci_dev *dev, const struct pci_device_id *id) { ide_pci_device_t *d = &piix_pci_info[id->driver_data]; if (dev->device != d->device) BUG(); d->init_setup(dev, d); MOD_INC_USE_COUNT; return 0; }
But there is no MOD_DEC_USE_COUNT anywhere. Is that intended?
