Linux Kernel Oops on module unload #50

@hmwildermuth

Description

@hmwildermuth

A kernel oops is often caused on module unload. This is because a process can start a faulted blocking syscall, such as wait4 or select, then have the syscall table flushed and the module unloaded, so that when the syscall continues execution it is in the memory where the kernel module once was, causing a page fault.
