But in my case, cleanup module also available in memory, after loading the module. I used to check using the file in /proc/kallsyms for the availability of cleanup module in memory.
AFAIK, such thing could happen due to certain data structure(s) from that module that are continously accessed or locked. So, to avoid race condition ( and missing pointer), keeping the module in memory is the right way to do. But of course, AFAIK too, you can try rmmod -f. But the risk is all yours. -- regards, Mulyadi Santosa Freelance Linux trainer and consultant blog: the-hydra.blogspot.com training: mulyaditraining.blogspot.com
