What do you think? I'm a bit confused; the owner is already set as mtd->owner (spi_register_driver() assigns the driver.owner, and the MTD core code finds it via mtd->dev.parent), and I think we grab the appropriate references. But I wouldn't be surprised if there was a bug lurking in there somewhere still. Certainly the removal/cleanup logic might still have some issues. But I also notice that your supposed test case actually works just fine for me: # dd if=/dev/mtd0 of=/dev/null bs=2M & rmmod m25p80 [1] 8781 rmmod: ERROR: Module m25p80 is in use Maybe this has already been fixed in the meantime? And anyway, if there is a problem like this, I expect we'll want to handle it in the core code, as Marek suggested. Brian
