Considering this case: 1. A program opens a sysfs table file 65535 times, it can increase validation_count and first increment cause the table to be mapped: validation_count = 65535 2. AML execution causes "Load" to be executed on the same table, this time it cannot increase validation_count, so validation_count remains: validation_count = 65535 3. The program closes sysfs table file 65535 times, it can decrease validation_count and the last decrement cause the table to be unmapped: validation_count = 0 4. AML code still accessing the loaded table, kernel crash can be observed. To prevent that from happening, add a validation_count threashold. When it is reached, the validation_count can no longer be incremented/decremented to invalidate the table descriptor (means preventing table unmappings) Note that code added in acpi_tb_put_table() is actually a no-op but changes the warning message into a "warn once" one.
