CONFIG_MODULE_FORCE_UNLOAD: Forced module unloading

General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_MODULE_FORCE_UNLOAD has multiple definitions:

Forced module unloading found in kernel/module/Kconfig

• type: bool
• depends on: CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD
• defined in kernel/module/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 6.0–6.8, 6.9-rc+HEAD

Help text

This option allows you to force a module to unload, even if the kernel believes it is unsafe: the kernel will remove the module without waiting for anyone to stop using it (using the -f option to rmmod). This is mainly for kernel developers and desperate users. If unsure, say N.
