Apparently being the operative word.
This commit avoids the entire "module insert failed due to sysfs race" path in the common case, it doesn't fix any actual problem.
I think the real commit you want is Linus' kobject fix a49b7e82cab0f9b41f483359be83f44fbb6b4979 "kobject: fix kset_find_obj() race with concurrent last kobject_put()".
Or is that already in stable?
Cheers, Rusty.
