2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Tom Tucker commit 2da2c21d7508d34bc6d600df665d84871b65d2b9 upstream. The svc_addsock function adds transport instances without taking a reference on the sunrpc.ko module, however, the generic transport destruction code drops a reference when a transport instance is destroyed. Add a try_module_get call to the svc_addsock function for transport instances added by this function. Signed-off-by: Tom Tucker Signed-off-by: J.
