Hi,
I'm new to Freebsd and interested in system programming. So I'have picked up a
task from the project ideas list to start with.
(part of) the subject is : "This task is to define and implement a general
mechanism for tracking these references and use them in handling module unload
requests."
So, to do that, I'have added an "int dynrefs" in struct module (kern_module.c),
and functions to increase or decrease this count
(module_add/remove_dynrefs(const char * modname) and module_updatedynrefs(const
char * modname, int action) ) in kern_module.c.
To avoid unload of a module which has a dynrefs count != 0 , I have modified
module_unload(), so that unload is process only if dynrefs=0 or
flag=LINKER_UNLOAD_FORCE.
module_unload(module_t mod, int flags)
{
int error;
- error = MOD_EVENT(mod, MOD_QUIESCE);
+ MOD_SLOCK;
+ (mod->dynrefs == 0) ? (error = MOD_EVENT(mod, MOD_QUIESCE)) : (error =
EPERM);
+ MOD_SUNLOCK;
I have compiled and tested. with a 6-2 RELEASE. For the test I'have used two
dummy module, one adding a dynrefs on the other.
Any comment are welcome
