From b3e55c727ff7349c5db722fbdb8d99a151e8e0bf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Mao, Bibo" Date: Mon, 12 Dec 2005 00:37:00 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] Kprobes: Reference count the modules when probed on it When a Kprobes are inserted/removed on a modules, the modules must be ref counted so as not to allow to unload while probes are registered on that module. Without this patch, the probed module is free to unload, and when the probing module unregister the probe, the kpobes code while trying to replace the original instruction might crash.
