2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Rusty Russell commit 7f9a50a5b89b87f8e754f59ae9968da28be618a5 upstream. Impact: fix spurious BUG_ON() triggered under load module_refcount() isn't reliable outside stop_machine(), as demonstrated by Karsten Keil , networking can trigger it under load (an inc on one cpu and dec on another while module_refcount() is tallying can give false results, for example). Almost noone should be using __module_get, but that's another issue.
