Re: [PATCH] once: Fix panic when module unload

[Kefeng Wang]

Hi ALL, I don't know who maintain the lib/once.c, add Greg and Andrew too,

Hi David, I check the history, the lib/once.c is from net/core/utils.c 
since

commit 46234253b9363894a254844a6550b4cc5f3edfe8
Author: Hannes Frederic Sowa <hannes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Thu Oct 8 01:20:35 2015 +0200

    net: move net_get_random_once to lib

This bug is found in our product test, we want to make sure that whether 
this solution

is correct or not, so could David or any others help to review this patch.

Many thinks.
