[PATCH] ipmi: fix /proc oops on unloading If module does pde = proc_mkdir("foo", NULL); if (pde) pde->owner = THIS_MODULE; ... remove_proc_entry("foo", &proc_root); , then proc entry will stay in tree with ->owner pointing to garbage. Next proc_lookup() will try to get the module with obvious consequences. ipmi driver managed to do exactly that. The issues is related to 2 /proc trees used in OpenVZ. i.e. it is created in global tree, while remove is done from local one. http://bugzilla.openvz.org/show_bug.cgi?id=659
