Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL ->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting in module refcount underflow. We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops and ->data. But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment) and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give some thoughts. ->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for protection. rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm. And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular. We definitely don't want such modular code. Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller. So, let's nuke it. Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12454 Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> |

European Comission Funding the work done by the University of Helsinki SysKonnect Loan of FDDI and Gigabit Ethernet cards ASUSTeK Loan of I2O motherboard STATUS: o The core setup works within limits. o The scsi layer seems to almost work. I'm still chasing down the hang bug. o The block OSM is mostly functional o LAN OSM works with FDDI and Ethernet cards. TO DO: General: o Provide hidden address space if asked o Long term message flow control o PCI IOP's without interrupts are not supported yet o Push FAIL handling into the core o DDM control interfaces for module load etc o Add I2O 2.0 support (Deffered to 2.5 kernel) Block: o Multiple major numbers o Read ahead and cache handling stuff. Talk to Ingo and people o Power management o Finish Media changers SCSI: o Find the right way to associate drives/luns/busses Lan: o Performance tuning o Test Fibre Channel code Tape: o Anyone seen anything implementing this ? (D.S: Will attempt to do so if spare cycles permit)
