Says JE, to someone who clearly _has_ done quite a bit more than just look at it. Sigh. It'd really be useful if you were less antagonistic in your responses, since that's a guaranteed way to get discussions off on the wrong foot. (Which I certainly hope is not your goal.) > rmmod'ing uhci-hcd is still safe, FWIW. And that's not necessarily a > memory leak. I can imagine some ways it'd not be a memory leak, but that'd mean something was lying in its use counts. Under what circumstances would a live reference to that bus still be around? Every module touching it has affirmed that it's done with the bus, and with every device on it. And none of them are going to get any more chances to drop those refcounts; any one of those modules could get rmmodded right away. > I won't guarantee that there are no leaks since the code hasn't received > extensive testing yet, but I think you're misunderstanding this > particular scenario. You really like those two comments: "look at the code" (implying all kinds of nasties, starting with my not having done that), and "you're misunderstanding this" (going further than that). Trying to belittle me is an unwarrantedly antagonistic response to a constructive comment. Although I can tell you've gotten into the habit of doing it ... that'd be a fine habit to break, and I know I'd not be the only one to appreciate that. - Dave _______________________________________________________________ Have big pipes?
