From c4185a0e019387f5ad6e99009804965531fa1fab Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Denis V. Lunev" Date: Fri, 23 May 2008 13:04:47 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] proc: proc_get_inode() should get module only once Any file under /proc/net opened more than once leaked the refcounter on the module it belongs to. The problem is that module_get is called for each file opening while module_put is called only when /proc inode is destroyed. So, lets put module counter if we are dealing with already initialised inode. Addresses http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10737 Signed-off-by: Denis V.
