ProcFs: FORCING remove_proc_entry even if the directory is used (busy) ??

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
