Subject: Re: CPU: 0 Not tainted  (3.1.9+ #1) when ifconfig rose0 down
Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2012 17:27:39 +0200	[thread overview]

Here is a complementary observation.
Trying to remove rose module with rmmod rose did not create any kernel 
panic.
However, there is an endless message from the kernel saying :

Message from syslogd@raspberrypi at Jul 31 17:22:40 ...
  kernel:[  831.579007] unregister_netdevice: waiting for rose0 to 
become free. Usage count = 23

Message from syslogd@raspberrypi at Jul 31 17:22:50 ...
  kernel:[  841.739390] unregister_netdevice: waiting for rose0 to 
become free. Usage count = 23

Message from syslogd@raspberrypi at Jul 31 17:23:00 ...
  kernel:[  851.899758] unregister_netdevice: waiting for rose0 to 
become free. Usage count = 23
.....

As observed at many occasions, count number seems to be random ! and
the same message keeps going without any change of count number.
At the same time, there is no possibility to recover the command line on 
any console.
However I could loggin via ssh and I noticed that rose0 device is 
actually no more in the ifconfig list.

If I try to remove rose with rmmod rose I get :

root@raspberrypi:/home/pi# rmmod rose
libkmod: ERROR ../libkmod/libkmod-module.c:753 
kmod_module_remove_module: could not remove 'rose': Device or resource busy
Error: could not remove module rose: Device or resource busy


Does this help ?
