What's the concept behind this?
the kernel has no way of knowing the lack of a cleanup function means
"there are no resources to cleanup" or "this module cannot be cleaned
up" so it's safer to err on the side of caution and not unload the
module since it may have resources in use ... especially since the
latter condition makes a lot more sense
simply write a correct module and it wont be a problem:
static void __exit cleanup_module(void)
{
}
module_exit(cleanup_module);
