This should not be needed, when your module is unloaded, all devices it handled should be properly removed by it.
I see. But it's not easy to achieve that currently. Maybe we need something like DEVICE_NEEDS_RESET support in virtio core.
Not sure what the connection is.
If we want to force remove all working vduse devices during module unload, we might need to send a DEVICE_NEEDS_RESET notification to device driver to do some cleanup before, e.g., return error for all inflight I/Os.
Thanks, Yongji
