In this case, dvb_ttpci is the module that calls dvb_attach() on stv0299 and so you need to unload dvb_ttpci first. Of course, now you must figure out what is using dvb_ttpci... This is no different than if you weren't using dvb_attach, except then 'Used by' would list dvb_ttpci instead of just saying 1. > > I can confirm this bug with CONFIG_DVB_CORE_ATTACH=y and kernel 2.6.17. > > > > @Andrew: > > Imho the problem is that > > - dvb_attach calls symbol_request(fe_attach) > > - dvb_detach calls symbol_put_addr(fe_release) > > i.e. two different symbols are used... > > > > What do you think? > > Crap, looks like something got lost in that /LONG/ discussion, because thats > never going to work is it? I remember I brought this up. It's ok as long as the attach and release functions are in the same module, as the kernel only does module level refcounting, not symbol level ref couting.
