> An oops is seen in lwtstate_free after an lwt ops module has been

> those ops. The first patch adds fills in a new owner field in all lwt
> ops and the second patch makes use of this to reference count the
> modules as state is built and destroyed using them.

> Changes in v3:
>  - don't put module reference if try_module_get fails on building state
> 
> Changes in v2:
>  - specify module owner for all modules as suggested by DaveM
>  - reference count all modules building lwt state, not just those ops
>    implementing destroy_state, as also suggested by DaveM.

Applied and queued up for -stable.

Thanks.
