Subject: [RFC] configfs: module reference counting rules
Date: Thursday, June 12, 2008 - 7:54 pm

Hi,

I'm a bit confused by configfs module reference counting, and I feel
that it does not really protect against module unloading. If my feeling
is correct, I'd suggest to change module reference counting rules in
configfs, for instance like in the attached patch. If my feeling is
wrong, could someone shed some light?

Thanks

Louis
