From d459ec0baa5d22e111dfb139c46d6d788a9eac20 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Antonino A. Daplas" Date: Mon, 3 Jul 2006 00:24:20 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] vt: Decrement ref count of the VT backend on deallocation When a VT is newly allocated, the module reference count of the backend will be incremented. This should be balanced by a module_put() when this VT is deallocated.
