From: Alan Stern Date: Thu, 26 Apr 2007 07:12:04 +0000 (-0700) Subject: device_schedule_callback() needs a module reference X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=523ded71de0c5e66973335bf99a80edfda9f401b;p=GitHub%2Fexynos8895%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal8895.git device_schedule_callback() needs a module reference This patch (as896b) fixes an oversight in the design of device_schedule_callback(). It is necessary to acquire a reference to the module owning the callback routine, to prevent the module from being unloaded before the callback can run.
