Folks, I've run into an interesting problem. The qla2300 and mptspi drivers don't get refcounted for active users, but they are absolutely required. Thus, you can do, eg, "rmmod qla2300" with mounted filesystems, and your system happily removes all child devices. Hello, EIO! Now, I know we're well into "Doctor, it hurts when I do this," territory here. But we generally try not to allow this sort of mistake. You can't remove a network card while the interface is up, you can't remove sd_mod while a disk is in use, etc. Has this been seen before? Is there any plan to make qla2300 and mptspi respect the use count of the objects they present to the system? Thoughts?
