Hi, The module refcount is increased by hci_dev_hold() call in hci_conn_add() in hci_conn.c, and it is decreased by hci_dev_put() call in "del_conn" (hci_sysfs.c). In case connection timeout happens, hci_dev_put() is never called. Procedure to reproduce the issue: # hciconfig hci0 up # lsmod | grep btusb -> "used by" refcount = 1 # hcitool cc <non-exisiting bdaddr> -> will get timeout # lsmod | grep btusb -> "used by" refcount = 2 # hciconfig hci0 down # lsmod | grep btusb -> "used by" refcount = 1 # rmmod btusb -> ERROR: Module btusb is in use Regards, Bing -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-bluetooth" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
