rmmod with a kernel delayed work running in the loadable kernel module

Show all headers | View raw

Hi,

I am kind of a beginner in Linux kernel and I am facing the following problem:

I have a kernel module, that has a delayed work initialized to log some things to a file periodically. I am using filp_open, vfs_write to do so.

When i want to unload the module, its not allowing the operation as expected because i have the file pointer open.

are there any callbacks/commands, that will tell the kernel module to close such a reference and rmmod the module?

thanks a lot.
