Do we really want that? If the release function doesn't sit in the module, or if the device_unregister() is done for other reasons in a non-module, we don't care about lingering references. There's no need to wait (and possibly lock up) there. - 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/
