    [PATCH] more bogus MOD_INC_USE_COUNT removals · d4a81d32
    Alexander Viro authored
     - example in Documentation/DocBook/procfs_example.c uses
       MOD_..._USE_COUNT for no reason.
    
     - alpha/kernel/srm_env.c uses MOD_...USE_COUNT for no reason _and_ does
       lovely stuff like strlen() on user-supplied pointers,
       copy_from_user() with unverified size, half-kilobyte on-stack arrays,
       etc.  Fixed.
    
     - s390{,x}/kernel/debug.c: set ->owner instead of playing with
       MOD_..._USE_COUNT in ->open()/->release()
    
     - mwavedd.c: gratitious use of MOD_..._USE_COUNT
    
     - uinput.c: ditto
    
     - radio/miropcm20-rds.c: set ->owner, remove MOD_..._USE_COUNT from
       ->open()/->release(), fixed an obvious race in the former (it checked
       that nobody else had device opened, then did kmalloc() with
       GFP_KERNEL, then marked device as opened).
