Subject: 2.4.0-test: rmmod -a without effect
Date: Wed, 29 Nov 2000 01:37:22 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20001129013721.C1777@garloff.etpnet.phys.tue.nl> (raw)

Hi,

this is a 2.4.0-test11 system;
rmmod -a (modutils-2.3.21) fails to unload unused autocleanable modules:
modprobe -r behaves the same, BTW

root@cantaloupe:~ > lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
ppp_deflate            44736   0  (autoclean) (unused)
ppp_generic            25728   0  (autoclean) [ppp_deflate]
root@cantaloupe:~ > rmmod -a
root@cantaloupe:~ > lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
ppp_deflate            44736   0  (autoclean) (unused)
ppp_generic            25728   0  (autoclean) [ppp_deflate]

As the binary does just a syscall delete_module(0), I guess it's the
kernel's fault. Same behaviour with 2.4.0-test9 and -test11-ac2.

Is this known and to be expected?

Regards,
