I found that if I write "NULL" to the "current_trigger", it will not be able to be removed. However, if I write a valid trigger name, such as the one in my driver code, it can be removed. Looks strange. But solve the problem anyway. I actually want to submit my driver code to you. However, it is pretty big(it supports all invensense sensors, which are similar but some differences still). Is that possible I package the code and send it directly? Thanks for your help.

Hi Ge, I'm afraid I won't be able to do any testing until at least tomorrow. There are a few things that could give more information though in the meantime: * Could you try the above, but note down the reference counts that lsmod will give you for the various drivers at each step of the process. (before connecting the trigger, whilst it is connected and upon disconnecting). * Is there anything left when you read 'current_trigger' after writing an invalid name to it? * Are you using an existing trigger or is it also part of you driver? Having the source code when I dig futher into this would also be helpful. Anyone else seen anything similar? I haven't run any removal hammering tests for a month or so, so something might have slipped into the core...
