I didn't know how to get hold of a "struct pt_regs*" till someone sent me a message this morning (it was obvious really). Plus, it occurred to me that I already have this fd I can use for reference counting. > [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: > > thus retaining the existence of the struct file, which then retains > > the module in memory. > > er.. why does it keep the module in memory? Because "getting" the struct file from the fd increments the usage count on the struct file. The VFS automatically maintains the module count pointed to by the file_operations structure based on the existence of the struct file.
