Using the BKL for new code is not recommanded, so I'll use a static driver-wide semaphore. > Your only requirement is that it is outside of your local > device structure so that you can syncronize things. Obviously :-) I suppose the reason why I need a semaphore and can't use a spinlock is that the call to kref_put in disconnect() must be protected by the lock, and the release() function called by kref_put might sleep. Is that right ? Is there another reason ? > Hope this helps, Yes it does, thanks.
