Hi, A nastly bug is still pending in ROSE module that prevents it to be removed. When trying to remove rose module we enter into an endless loop with displayed message : "waiting for rose module to become free" A patch from Richard Stern had been committed a while ago but it did not get a chance to be applied.
https://marc.info/?l=linux-hams&m=150870350516064&w=2 Since then, there have been some changes in af_rose.c and net code architecture that prevents simply adding missing dev_put(dev) in present kernel. >From time to time we can observe a negative count (-1 for integer value is >displayed as 65535 in /proc/net/rose_neigh) that probably means there is a bug >in rose module refcount (??). /proc/net/rose_neigh 00015 SV1HCC-9 ax0 2 1 DCE yes 0 0 00013 PE1OWG-11 ax0 2 65535 DCE yes 0 0 00011 F5KTR-11 ax0 1 1 DCE yes 0 0 00007 F3KT-11 ax0 2 1 DCE yes 0 0 00003 SK7ES-9 ax0 2 1 DTE yes 0 0 00002 K4GBB-9 ax0 4 0 DCE yes 0 0 00001 RSLOOP-0 ??? 1 2 DCE yes 0 0 Help is kindly requested to get a valid patch.
