Hi Vijay,Is this a loadable kernel module or a built-in module?If it is a loadable module, everything still remains in the memory without being freed.Functions and data defined with __init gets freed after their execution only if these are part of built-in kernel modules.In your case, if the module is a loadable one, you can still access the print_k() from hello_exit() as its still residing in memory.Regards,-Amar
Hi Amar
Thank you very much for reply. I often write loadable modules,but know little about
built-in modules,can you tell something about built-in modules? or,how i can take a built-in
module into the kernel?

Hi,
Even if we call print_k() function inside hello_exit, it still works.

At that point __init hello_init execution is over. How its still
working?
