FUCKING LUNIX MODULES

I wrote a useless module, and it segfaulted, so I correct it and retry, right? Oh, I can't load it because I haven't unloaded the failed one, okay - what? I can't do rmmod because it's still "in use"? I need to reboot? fuck you, lunix, fuck you. Google has already failed me, you are my only hope, /prog/

tl;dr is there any way to remove a locked up module without rebooting. I fucking loathe rebooting.

man rmmod

>>2
Yeah forgot to mention the --force option does not work either

It gives an error "Device or resource busy" - OF COURSE IT'S BUSY WHY ELSE WOULD I PUT A FUCKING -f AS A PARAMETER

>>3
maybe you're into bdsm or stuff

the kernel can't know that

>>1
Cue Tanenbaum rant against monolithic kernels in 3... 2... 1...

Get VMware already. (Since you're posting on /prog/, this probably hasn't occurred to you already.)

vmware is unfree. unlike linux, which is antifree.

>>5
The rant isn't necessary. Everyone already knows how bad monolithic kernels are.

>>6
Yeeaah, I'd love to recompile a kernel on a fucking VM

>>9
Do you have to recompile the kernel to write LKMs? Anyways, as long as your processor supports hardware virtualization, you should be fine.

I don't suppose you've considered attempting to determine what is claiming the resources used by your driver, have you?

VirtualBox OSE is open source.
