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 _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@linuxdriverproject.org http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
