You actually introduced a refcounting bug with your patch (there was no pci_dev_put() in the module unload path). But that's irrelevant because the driver should instead be converted to the pci_driver model (see Documentation/PCI/pci.txt). And that conversion should be carried out by someone who can test the driver in question. Do you have the hardware to test this? -- Matthew Wilcox Intel Open Source Technology Centre "Bill, look, we understand that you're interested in selling us this operating system, but compare it to ours.
