I almost submitted a patch like that this summer, but didn't because I ran across some followon problems. I forget the details, but in principle it should be safe to guard against such problems like this. Clearly it's a bug if any driver still has a handle on a device after it's been removed. Enabling slab poisoning should turn up such driver bugs. - Dave _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-devel
