From 2e70e2415193b84c1b79ec373af15c3f280ad7c4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Leech Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2009 14:00:23 -0700 Subject: [SCSI] fcoe: Fix module ref count bug by adding NETDEV UNREGISTER handling Fixes reference counting on fcoe_instance and net_device, and adds NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifier handling so that you can unload network drivers. FCoE no longer increments the module use count for the network driver. On an NETDEV_UNREGISTER event, destroying the FCoE instance is deferred to a workqueue context to avoid RTNL deadlocks. Based in part by an earlier patch from John Fastabend John's patch description: Currently, the netdev module ref count is not decremented with module_put() when the module is unloaded while fcoe instances are present. To fix this removed reference count on netdev module completely and added functionality to netdev event handling for NETDEV_UNREGISTER events. This allows fcoe to remove devices cleanly when the netdev module is unloaded so we no longer need to hold a reference count for the netdev module.
