Subject: alpha fp-emu vs module refcounting
Date: Fri, 7 May 2004 13:02:17 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040507110217.GA11366@lst.de> (raw)
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)?
