Probably dumb question (since I'm not at all familiar with the dvb code): Isn't that a different race you're solving there? I don't see any driver core objects involved (except class devices created by class_device_create, which obviously don't have the release function problem). This looks more like a race of "we want an object to go away, but a user still has a file open" (which would be similar to the kobject<->sysfs lifetime rules issues, where work is currently ongoing). ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
