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