Hi,
Hi All,
I was reading a chapter from LDD3 and came know that
file_operations->owner field is a pointer to the module that owns the
file_operations structure. This field is used to prevent the module
from being unloaded while its operation is in use. Almost all the
time, it is simply initialized to THIS_MODULE, a macro define in
<linux/module.h>
owner is of type struct module and THIS_MODULE is macro
which is defined as &__this_module. Look at the declaration
of struct module in linux/module.h
