Hi to all,
I've been playing with modules programing and got the

Actually my module has a bug - it don't remove a proc file has been
created on module init function. And right after I've my buggy module
unloaded (note the proc entry remained and owned by noone)
ls /proc caused that oops.
So the question is - is it normal behaviour of the kernel?
I've taken a look for kernel sources and found the following
in module.h
static inline int try_module_get(struct module *module)
{
int ret = 1;
^^^^^^^^^^^^
if (module) {
unsigned int cpu = get_cpu();
if (likely(module_is_live(module)))
local_inc(&module->ref[cpu].count);
else
ret = 0;
put_cpu();
}
return ret;
}
and it seems ret shouldn't be set to 1 by defaults. I bet
proc_lookup
[which has the following]
if (de != NULL && !try_module_get(de->owner))
should return NULL for a such module. Am I wrong?
