Hi,
I want to know the difference between the
cleanup_module and delete_module system call. Can any
one please clarify my doubt.
Thanks,

insmod inserts the address of cleanup_module() in the module structure
at load time. When syscall delete_module() is about to remove the
module, it calls the module's clean up routine, if it exists. So
cleanup_module() is invoked during module deletion to let the module do
any local clean up.
