Grab the module reference when the kobject is created and release the module reference in kobject_cleanup() after the release function has been called. This doesn't make kobject_get() heavier, and it ensures we don't delete the module until after the last kobject it is supposed to clean up has been released. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
