From 38ca21f81217c14749f190f44709d4f5606ff798 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Thu, 25 Apr 2013 20:31:49 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 125/174] clockevents: Add module refcount commit ccf33d6880f39a35158fff66db13000ae4943fac upstream. We want to be able to remove clockevent modules as well. Add a refcount so we don't remove a module with an active clock event device.
