From: John Hubbard <jhubb...@nvidia.com> Hi,
Say, I'm 99% sure that this was just an oversight, so I'm sticking my neck out here and floating a patch to Put Things Back. I'm hoping that there is not some firm reason to GPL-protect the basic kref_get and kref_put routines, because when designing some recent new (open-source, yay!) device drivers, we relied on this being available, even for MIT-licensed code.
