From d5db139ab3764640e0882a1746e7b9fdee33fd87 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rusty Russell Date: Thu, 22 Jan 2015 11:13:14 +1030 Subject: module: make module_refcount() a signed integer. James Bottomley points out that it will be -1 during unload. It's only used for diagnostics, so let's not hide that as it could be a clue as to what's gone wrong.
