Hello,
I have recently had to move from a generic kext to an IOKit one, in order to get the lifecycle functionality that IOKit offers. Since my kext exposes a control device, I used to return an error in the kext stop function if unregistering the control device failed (i.e. a daemon was connected to it).
But none of the IOService callbacks that kexts usually override (stop, detach, free, ...) allow returning an error. And calling provider->retain() in device->start() doesn't prevent device->stop() from being called. Neither does device->adjustBusy(+1).
What I am currently doing is I override device->terminate() and I return false if the kext is busy. But since no IOKit documentation recommends this, I assume it's not the proper way do prevent unload.
My question is, how does one prevent cleanup when the kext is still busy ? (particularly when there are non-IOKit resources in use)
