[PATCH] md - 1 of 4 - Fix module ref counting for md.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



4 assorted fixes and cleanups for md in 2.6.0-test4 - Thanks.

### Comments for ChangeSet

We don't need to explicitly count references as:
 - refcounting already happens for opens of /dev/md?
 -  when an array is active, a daughter module is loaded which
      locks "md" in.
We just need to make sure we clean up properly on unload. (export_array)

Also, xor needs a null module_exit so that it can be unloaded.
