Show HN: Kgotobed: Kernel module that forces you to go to sleep

• captn3m0 8y ago
  Are you using this daily? Just want to know if there are any gotchas I might need to check before I start using it.

    I used the kernel module for a few days and didn't notice any problems on a laptop running Fedora. The kernel module is less that 100 lines long, hopefully it's simple enough to not cause trouble...

  May I ask, how is it possible to prevent unloading the module?
  • nikital 8y ago
    The module takes an extra reference count to itself upon initialization and never decrements it, so rmmod will fail because the module will be "in use".

      Nice ;)
