Subject: Add ability to keep track of callers of symbol_(get|put) ? (take 2)
Date: Thu, 09 May 2013 15:45:17 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <518C26FD.4000406@gmail.com> (raw)
I came into the situation previously reported as "[RFC PATCH 1/3] Add
ability to keep track of callers of symbol_(get|put)"
The thread is here - https://lkml.org/lkml/2007/3/9/519
A patch was submitted back then. Maybe it drop off the radar?
On 3.8.11 kernel, I find that
- for symbol_get, the 'holder' field of the resolved symbol's module
does not update. mild annoyance IMHO
- for symbol_put, when ref. count reaches 0, there is no 'rmmod'
equivalent so it just stays there in memory. That somewhat seemed less
deliberate?
Regards
