But there are only three non-module callers:
drivers/scsi/scsi.c:1012: if (module && module_refcount(module) != 0)
drivers/staging/lustre/lustre/obdclass/lu_object.c:1359: LINVRNT(module_refcount(key->lct_owner) > 0);
include/linux/module.h:447:unsigned long module_refcount(struct module *mod);
kernel/debug/kdb/kdb_main.c:2026: kdb_printf("%4ld ", module_refcount(mod));
kernel/module.c:775:unsigned long module_refcount(struct module *mod)
kernel/module.c:779:EXPORT_SYMBOL(module_refcount);
kernel/module.c:859: seq_printf(m, " %lu ", module_refcount(mod));
kernel/module.c:911: return sprintf(buffer, "%lu\n", module_refcount(mk->mod));
The first one I think should be eliminated, and the second one is simply
an assertion before calling module_put() (which should probably be
eliminated). The others are just printing information.
Cheers,
Rusty.
