Subject: [PATCH 1/3] dm-target: use the module's refcount instead
Date: Fri, 19 Dec 2008 12:19:43 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1229660385-17153-2-git-send-email-crquan@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1229660385-17153-1-git-send-email-crquan@gmail.com>

From: Cheng Renquan <crquan@gmail.com>

The tt_internal's use field is superfluous, the module's refcount has done
the work properly.
