You should check how things are properly done with RCU, because you must
make sure the module unload wont delete text another cpu is using.

net code usually use synchronize_{rcu|net}() calls.


example :

net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_nat_sip.c

static void __exit nf_nat_sip_fini(void)
{
        rcu_assign_pointer(nf_nat_sip_hook, NULL);
        rcu_assign_pointer(nf_nat_sip_seq_adjust_hook, NULL);
        rcu_assign_pointer(nf_nat_sip_expect_hook, NULL);
        rcu_assign_pointer(nf_nat_sdp_addr_hook, NULL);
        rcu_assign_pointer(nf_nat_sdp_port_hook, NULL);
        rcu_assign_pointer(nf_nat_sdp_session_hook, NULL);
        rcu_assign_pointer(nf_nat_sdp_media_hook, NULL);
        synchronize_rcu();
}
