I don't know, you have to ask that Rusty.
BTW the same trick is also possible with the old module count:
int try_inc_mod_count(struct module *mod)
{
int res;
if (mod) {
__MOD_INC_USE_COUNT(mod);
smp_mb__after_atomic_inc()
if (unlikely(mod->flags & MOD_DELETED))
goto check;
}
return 1;
check:
res = 1;
spin_lock(&unload_lock);
if (mod->flags & MOD_DELETED) {
__MOD_DEC_USE_COUNT(mod);
res = 0;
}
spin_unlock(&unload_lock);
return res;
}
(and a similiar change to sys_delete_module.)
bye, Roman
