[PATCH v3 2/7] atm: add owner of push() callback to atmvcc

From: Krzysztof Mazur
Date: Tue Nov 06 2012 - 17:21:50 EST


The atm is using atmvcc->push(vcc, NULL) callback to notify protocol
that vcc will be closed and protocol must detach from it. This callback
is usually used by protocol to decrement module usage count by module_put(),
but it leaves small window then module is still used after module_put().

Now the owner of push() callback is kept in atmvcc and
module_put(atmvcc->owner) is called after the protocol is detached from vcc.
