Hi! There is a race condition if an instance is executing "__exit device_exit" and calls remove_proc_entry, while someone is still using the procfile, right?.
static void __exit device_exit(void) { // what if the procfile is still in use? remove_proc_entry(PROC_FILE_NAME, &proc_root); } To remove this race condition, the code in "__exit device_exit" must a) be sure that no other instance is in procfile functions b) call remove_proc_entry before any other instance accesses the procfile *** Is this at all possible if a race-condition is to be avoided? If yes: which mechanism can be used?
