[PATCH 2.5.71] Fix module owner for bonding driver

flat view
STALE8520d

From: Stephen Hemminger <hidden>
Date: 2003-06-16 22:42:51

The bonding driver does explicit MOD_INC/DEC even though it does a SET_MODULE_OWNER.
So it doesn't changes module use counts on open/close on 2.5 when it shouldn't.
It also has a /proc entry which does not affect the module use counts when it should.

Suggestion: the /proc interface could/should be converted to seq_file.
Volunteers? Janitor project?
