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..
