[ Upstream commit fa2ac657f9783f0891b2935490afe9a7fd29d3fa ] Objects allocated by xen_blkif_alloc come from the 'blkif_cache' kmem cache. This cache is destoyed when xen-blkif is unloaded so it is necessary to wait for the deferred free routine used for such objects to complete. This necessity was missed in commit 14855954f636 "xen-blkback: allow module to be cleanly unloaded". This patch fixes the problem by taking/releasing extra module references in xen_blkif_alloc/free() respectively.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
