rmmod take all CPU and I can't stop it under 2.4.3-ac{9,11}

Hello,

I am using DVB and sometimes I have to reload the driver, some times, I can just do it without problem, but often, it result in a (from top):
1359 root 19 0 532 532 360 R 77.7 0.2 8:32 rmmod

And a kill -KILL 1359 has no effect at all?

Is there a way to kill that jobs?

Thanks you very much,

Greg

It is not rmmod that is looping, it is the module's cleanup routine that is looping in kernel space (where it cannot be killed). Contact the maintainer for the module that you are trying to remove.
