If so, why even check a count at all?

What happens if it drops _RIGHT_ after testing for it? Anytime you do an atomic_read() call, it's almost always a sign that the logic is not correct. Again, why have this reference count at all? What is it protecting? > +/* exposed API > + * receive incoming datagrams from the Modem and push them to the > + * kernel networking system > + */ > +int ccmni_rx_push(unsigned int ccmni_idx, struct sk_buff *skb) Ah, so this driver doesn't really do anything on its own, as there is no modem driver for it. So without a modem driver, it will never be used? Please submit the modem driver at the same time, otherwise it's impossible to review this correctly. thanks, greg k-h
