           Summary: reload xfs module crash
           Product: Linux XFS
           Version: 1.2.x
          Platform: IA32
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Low
         Component: dmapi
        AssignedTo: xfs-master@xxxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: joshhelmer@xxxxxxx


If this is a userspace bug, what version of the package are you using:

What kernel are you using:
2.4.20-xfs

Where did the XFS code come from?  (CVS, Linus, your distribution, etc):
cvs (last update 2/12/2003)

Description of Problem:
Removing and re-inserting the xfs modules will crash when dmapi is enabled.



How Reproducible:
Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Mount a filesystem with dmapi (will load the xfs module)
mount -t xfs /dev/hdb1 /xfs -o dmapi,mtpt=/xfs
2. Unmount the filesystem
3. Remove the xfs module.  When I do this I get the following error:
kmem_cache_destroy: Can't free all objects c7a57b84
4. Try to insmod the xfs module.

Actual Results:
The module fails to load.

Expected Results:


Additional Information:
It appears that the problem is caused because the "dm_tokdata" cache never goes
away.  When you try to free the cache it fails because the slabs_partial list
still has an outstanding entry in it.  From that point on, you are unable to
load the xfs module because a "dm_tokdata" cache is still hanging out in memory
and the cache manager will not allow you to create a new one with that same 
name.
