> How about running 2.6.24-rc4 with _only_ the patch to this driver to > convert it to krefs? Does that combination cause problems? > > The patch is at: > http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/gregkh/gregkh-2.6/gregkh-01-driver/kobject-convert-hvcs-to-use-kref-not-kobject.patch This patch works fine with _changes_ on 2.6.24-rc4. I can confirm that it's not a kref problem in that case. This patch still assumes that kref_get() returns a value. This is no longer true. The kref_get() call site needs to be changed. -- Warm Regards, Balbir Singh Linux Technology Center IBM, ISTL -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
