17 This option can be extremely dangerous: it has no effect unless |
|
18 CONFIG_MODULE_FORCE_UNLOAD was set when the kernel was compiled. |
|
19 With this option, you can remove modules which are being used, or |
|
20 which are not designed to be removed, or have been marked as unsafe. |
|
21 .It Fl w |
|
22 Normally, |
|
23 .Nm |
|
24 will refuse to unload modules which are in |
|
25 use. With this option, |
|
26 .Nm |
|
27 will isolate the module, and wait until the module is no longer used. No… |
|
28 new will be able to use the module, but it's up to you to make sure the |
|
29 current users eventually finish with it. |
