Err, didn't I attache the test module?

Here it goes:


#include <linux/kernel.h>

.release = b_release
};

struct my_obj_a
{
struct kobject kobj;
} a;

struct my_obj_b
{
struct kobject kobj;
} b;

static __init int test_init(void)
{
int err;

kobject_init(&a.kobj);
a.kobj.ktype = &a_ktype;
err = kobject_set_name(&a.kobj, "A");
if (err)
return err;
printk("a inited, kref %d\n", atomic_read(&a.kobj.kref.refcount));

kobject_init(&b.kobj);

goto out_b;
printk("dir A created, A kref %d, B kref %d\n",
