Given an application that is waiting on blocked I/O. If that application crashes and the I/O is still blocked how can the driver be removed with rmmod? Can the driver tell that it really isn't in use anymore? If that application gets a request to shutdown while awaiting blocked I/O, what should it tell the driver?
