If I define a hook for proc_iops->unlink in a procfs directory and do a remove_proc_entry() when called, I always get this message: "de_put: deferred delete of ..." Everything seems to work, but I get the warning. I see 3 possibilities: - I'm doing it the wrong way (likely); - it's an overzealous warning that everyone should ignore; - it's officially deemed as a Bad Thing (TM) (also likely). Does anyone know why the warning is there? I know procfs is not supposed to be meddled too much, but I'm just trying to hack. :) -- Saluti, Massimiliano Hofer Nucleus
