From 2db61c95c03d08bb885c87a816540e75190c924a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Fernando=20Luis=20V=C3=A1zquez=20Cao?= Date: Wed, 11 Jul 2007 17:11:45 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] UBI: cleanup usage of try_module_get The use of try_module_get(THIS_MODULE) in ubi_get_device_info does not offer real protection against unexpected driver unloads, since we could be preempted before try_modules_get gets executed. It is the caller who should manipulate the refcounts. Besides, ubi_get_device_info is an exported symbol which guarantees protection when accessed through symbol_get.
