Jerome,
Don't you need to handle a case where the process is terminated before it
calls hmm_mirror_unregister() ? or if it "forgets" to call that function in
the first place ?
This is the only place I saw "kfree(hmm)" and this function is only called
if there are no more references to hmm. I saw you unref only in
hmm_mirror_unregister() but as I said, that function may never be called.
