Subject: [PATCH 12/21] Drivers: hv: fcopy: set .owner reference for file operations
Date: Sat, 11 Apr 2015 18:07:50 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1428800879-25816-12-git-send-email-kys@microsoft.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1428800879-25816-1-git-send-email-kys@microsoft.com>
From: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@redhat.com>
Get an additional reference otherwise a crash is observed when hv_utils module is being unloaded while
fcopy daemon is still running. .owner gives us an additional reference when
someone holds a descriptor for the device.
