can't satisfy my need to slay ;-)  
I just tried to slay io-pkt-v4 but it doesn't go away. A kill on the process ID also just returns but the process io-pkt
-v4 stays. Only kill -9 removes it.

I see two threads of io-pkt-v4, thread 1 is Prio 21 and in CONDVAR state, the 2nd is on prio 5 only but in NANOSLEEP 
status, it seems it wakes up every now and then, I saw it REPLY-blocked to the PCI server as well (and I thought a 
driver would only talk to the PCI server during initialization?). What is going on there? 

And why can't I slay?

Cheers,


Malte

I reproduced this.  The driver isn't returning from its shutdownhook.
PR 53116.
