Fix the kernel module bricking the Linux kernel

vb2007 commented 1 month ago

Close the issue, that's intended functionality on an average linux driver.

Seems fair

Here's a follow up.

If you successfully compiled and "injected" the kernel module and it bricked your kernel you can do the following to reinstall the kernel:

  1. Get into emergency mode or chroot into the system via something like archiso;
  2. Let your package manager reinstall the Linux kernel by itself, for example on Arch you could run sudo pacman -Syy linux (or any Linux kernel fork) OR just reinstall the kernel yourself;
  3. Navigate to /path/to/tmx-ffb-driver/src and remove the tmx_driver.ka file so it won't load again, just to be sure;

I'll work on a fix as soon as possible.

It seems like the issue is resolved (to be honest I don't know what solved it O-O) but I won't close the issue for now because the kernel module is very unstable and any commit could break it.

It seems like the issue is fixed. If needed I'll reopen the issue in the future.
