Subject: module: fix module_refcount() return when running in a module exit routine
Date: Sun, 18 Jan 2015 08:55:46 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1421600146.2080.8.camel@HansenPartnership.com> (raw)

From: James Bottomley <JBottomley@Parallels.com>

After e513cc1 module: Remove stop_machine from module unloading,
module_refcount() is returning (unsigned long)-1 when called from within
a routine that runs in module_exit.  This is confusing the scsi device
put code which is coded to detect a module_refcount() of zero for
running within a module exit routine and not try to do another
module_put.  The fix is to restore the original behaviour of
module_refcount() and return zero if we're running inside an exit
routine.

Fixes: e513cc1c07e2ab93a4514eec9833e031df3e30bb
