I get a panic when I use ss -a and rmmod inet_diag at the same time. it's because netlink_dump use inet_diag_dump witch function belongs to module inet_diag. I search the codes and find many modules have the same problem. We need add reference of the module witch the cb->dump belongs to. Thanks for all help from Stephen,Jan,Eric and Steffen.
