Subject: Device count (to be done with)
Date: Wed, 10 Oct 2001 20:06:01 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <marc-linux-hotplug-100274805227939@msgid-missing> (raw)
I think it should be pretty obvious by now that we need a separate count
for devices. To clarify things, the two counts are:
1. The classical "use" count, which (together with other things) counts
"reasons that this module MUST remain loaded".
2. The new "convenience" count which counts "reasons that this module
SHOULD remain loaded".
The "should" count should be mostly managed from userspace (but also
give the option for modules to change it) and user space programs must
not care about anything beyond modprobe. For uniformity, better put this
"should" count right next to the "must" (use) count.
