From 6f967f7891076abc09e12ce952f85825e7ee8caf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alan Cox Date: Mon, 13 Oct 2008 10:37:36 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] tty: use krefs to protect driver module counts The tty layer keeps driver module counts that are used so the driver knows when it can be unloaded. For obvious reasons we want to tie that to the refcounting properly. At this point the driver side itself isn't refcounted nicely but we can do that later and kref the drivers.
