From 472f263660832b90e53bede2020f68cd14f8b76c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joao Martins Date: Sun, 8 Sep 2019 00:45:24 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] cpuidle-haltpoll: do not set an owner to allow modunload cpuidle-haltpoll can be built as a module to allow optional late load. Given we are setting @owner to THIS_MODULE, cpuidle will attempt to grab a module reference every time a cpuidle_device is registered -- so essentially all online cpus get a reference. This prevents for the module to be unloaded later, which makes the module_exit callback entirely unused. Thus remove the @owner and allow module to be unloaded.
