Subject: ProcFs: FORCING  remove_proc_entry even if the directory is used (busy)  ??
Date: Thu, 09 Oct 2003 11:27:31 -0400	[thread overview]

Hi all,

    I have a program that automaticaly recreate a directory in /proc, 
based on some events. To do this, I do a remove_proc_entry, and then 
recreate the directory.

    However, if someone is using a console and is currently IN my /proc 
directory, remove_proc_entry fails, saying that the dir is "busy".

    Any way to force the deletion? Or any ideas for workarounds?


    Many thanks

       Jena-Guillaume
