Removing busy Modules


Hi
I have written a hello world module. I have successfully linked it to the kernel using insmod. But trying to remove it using rmmod is giving error evice busy. How to remove this module other than restarting the computer?

Thanks

Try
Code:
rmmod -f module
but your kernel must support this.
