From 360926923b184fddf4e570b7f970b33e4e52af40 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "K. Y. Srinivasan" Date: Fri, 29 Apr 2011 13:44:59 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Staging: hv: vmbus_driver cannot be unloaded; cleanup accordingly The vmbus driver cannot be unloaded; the windows host does not permit this: A) All guest resources given to the host cannot be recovered and B) Windows host does not permit reloading the vmbus_driver without re-booting the guest. Both these issues are host related. Acknowledge this reality and cleanup the vmbus driver accordingly. Note that, ideally we will want to handle the root device through the Hyper-V block driver. In this case unloading the vmbus driver will not be possible because of the dependency issues. Signed-off-by: K. Y.
