There is an imbalance for anonymous inodes. If the fops->owner field is set, the module reference count of owner is decreases on release. ("filp_close" --> "__fput" ---> "fops_put") On the other hand, anon_inode_getfd does not increase the module reference count of owner. This causes two problems: - if owner is set, the module refcount goes negative - if owner is not set, the module can be unloaded while code is running This patch changes anon_inode_getfd to be symmetric regarding fops->owner handling. I have checked all existing users of anon_inode_getfd. Noone sets fops->owner, thats why nobody has seen the module refcount negative. The refcounting was tested with a patched and unpatched KVM module.(see patch 2/2) I also did an epoll_open/close test.
