Hi, kernel developers. I has a big surprise when, adding at the beginning of init_module() the macro MOD_INC_USE_COUNT, for have a module use counter. My program get compile well and insmod work too. But the surprise was when i did rmmod, cos the output said: FATAL: the module is in use I did lsmod, and i got that my module was used by [unsafe]. Any kernel programmer with experience knows why happen this?. IMHO a use counter is a very few dangerous thing. So i was trying with. Thanks you, very much, in advance. Regards. Jose.
