Conjecture? kobject is used to provide reference counting for device objects. Look at the printk patch. It prints the reference value of dev->kobj. The values in Bob's syslog output *are* the kobject reference counts. Look at drivers/core/core.c for put_device/get_device -- Paul Fulghum Microgate Systems, Ltd ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
