Subject: [PATCH] pktcdvd: fix BUG caused by sysfs module reference semantics change
Date: Thu, 08 Nov 2007 11:27:16 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <47327404.9010008@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0711072303080.6991@quad.localdomain>
pkt_setup_dev() expects module reference to be held on invocation.
This used to be true for sysfs callbacks but not anymore. Test and
grab module reference around pkt_setup_dev() in
class_pktcdvd_store_add().
