Well, I wanted to reload the module with debug on, so I tried:
# modprobe -r nvnet
Segmentation fault
#lsmod
At this point lsmod just hung.
Tried shutting down the computer, and it was stuck during shutdown.
Seems like the refcounting is not really working, or perhaps there are
too many cycles happening. What happens if you do the following with a
module:
try_module_get
MOD_INC_USE_COUNT
MOD_DEC_USE_COUNT
module_put

I'll just add it in BIOS and try with AMD8111. No desire to futz around
with the nvnet source, where half of what is going on is a complete
black box (priv->hwapi, "priv" is definitely *private*).
Thanks,
