- driver calls firmware_get, firmware image loaded and fp->file set to non-NULL - manually kldload some_module_that_depends_on_firmware_image - driver calls firmware_put, unloadentry called and sets fp->file = NULL If at this point the entry was cleared then all future calls to firmware_get would fail even though the module is still available, referenced and loaded. I'm not saying that these cases are particularly important or that there aren't bugs in the current code; just that mixing up the layers doesn't help ;-) Ian _______________________________________________ cvs-all@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/cvs-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
