On second thought, I think I agree with Emilio that the _module_ refcount should reflect the number of users (other modules) using the bridge module. The refcount of resources should probably stay separate from the refcount of module usage. We can add resource refcounting as well but I don't see a need for it at the moment. vme_bridge_get() and vme_bridge_put() in this case should refer to the reference count of the bridge module (not the resources). What do you think? Thanks! -- /manohar _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
