Figured it out -- I think. This appears to be the answer:
In struct proc_dir_entry,set the fill_inode function pointer to a
callback to handle refcounts.
struct proc_dir_entry
{
...
void (*fill_inode)(struct inode *, int);
...
};
void fill_inode_cb(struct inode *i, int v)
{
if (v==0)
{
MOD_DEC_USE_COUNT;
return;
};
if (v==1)
{
MOD_INC_USE_COUNT;
return;
};
};
... right? :)
