| |
arch/alpha/math-emu/math.c still uses MOD_{INC,DEC}_USE_COUNT to protect from unloading which is
a) unsafe b) in the way of nuking them as soon as 2.7 is out
any chance we could either do a try_module_get on a struct module *fp_emul_module in alpha core code before or completely disallow module unloading for it (by removing the cleanup_module() callback)? - 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/
