You mean the module usage counts? I have code like this:

  static void xxvmclose(struct vm_area_struct*vma)
  {
	[...]
      MOD_DEC_USE_COUNT;
  }

that counts module references when an application maps the driver.
The reference counts I see from lsmod are always exactly as I expect.
Are you saying that the kernel independently knows that a VMA references
a module? (I doubt you mean that.)

Or (as I suspect) do you mean the f_count in the file structure a la:

      vma->vm_file = file;
      file->f_count += 1;

Should I not be doing this in 2.2 kernels?
