Hi,
in the old days you couldn't call a sleeping function in a module before doing a MOD_INC or after doing a MOD_DEC. Then some safety nets were added that made these obsolete (in some number of places). I was told that people had decided to potentially get rid of all safety nets. Is this true? Is it worthwhile to have a checker for these two rules? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
