This is a real bug, but it's very minor. To trigger it, you would have
to modprobe and rmmod many many times in a loop. If you report these
sorts of minor bugs when the code is new, then most times people fix
them but this one is old I doubt anyone is motivated to fix it. Fixing
it seems a little complicated to me as well.
I suppose that linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org is the correct mailing list
to report this but the truth is that no one reads that list.
Anyway, it seems that you have written a good bug finding tool. :)
Congratulations for that!
regards,
dan carpenter
