3.10.0-123.el7.x86 64 - System hangs during rmmod
SYSTEM: Linux version 3.10.0-123.el7.x86_64.debug-PC
Overview: Our driver supports configuration, management, and user level access to/from up to 6 32bit pci-comunications cards. We have made the necessary changes to our originally 2.6.X based kernel module to allow it to be loaded(insmod) and perform properly under 3.10.0-123.el7.
Problem: The 3.10.0-123.el7 system hangs when we attempt to remove the driver(rmmod).
I've included our "module_exit" (included below) with embedded printk's. When "rmmod iphwae" is executed the following output is seen, then the system hangs:
Mar 19 14:16:19 lab-247 kernel:

The printk's show that the kernal modules exit routine is completed successfully...
Any help with this problem would be GREATLY APPRECIATED
