Hi, I just ran across commit:
019a316992ee ("rtnetlink: add reference counting to prevent module unload while dump is in progress") And that commit is _completely_ broken. 1) it not in fact a refcount, so using refcount_t is silly 2) there is a distinct lack of memory barriers, so we can easily observe the decrement while the msg_handler is still in progress. 3) waiting with a schedule()/yield() loop is complete crap and subject life-locks, imagine doing that rtnl_unregister_all() from a RT task. Please fix..
