Re: Blocking I/O and rmmod

Thanks to everyone that responded!!  My resolution is to 
wait_event_interruptible where I check the condition when I am awaken. 
 If the condition is equal to the condition that I set elsewhere when I 
get what I am waiting for, then I handle the data and return it to the 
user.  If the condition is not what I expect, then I know that it was a 
signal that caused me to continue.  At that point, I simply return from 
my blocking I/O and assume that if the user app is still running it will 
ask again or if has crashed, then the module can be unloaded if need be.

Thanks again,
