General approach: 1. Prevent new references (e.g., devsw_detach). 2. Wait for existing references to drain (or roll back with devsw_attach if you don't want to wait, and fail with EBUSY). 3. Unload.
Yes, of course. Thanks, I think this will work. +------------------+--------------------------+------------------------+ | Paul Goyette | PGP Key fingerprint: | E-mail addresses: | | (Retired) | FA29 0E3B 35AF E8AE 6651 | paul at whooppee.com | | Kernel Developer | 0786 F758 55DE 53BA 7731 | pgoyette at netbsd.org | +------------------+--------------------------+------------------------+
