The third column of lsmod's output tells you if a module is being used.
Take a look in /proc to find out what process is using a particular module.
Get info. about the lsmod command and proc filesystem;
$ man lsmod
$ man 5 proc
man lsmod.modutils says "The format is name, size, use count, list of
referring modules." So for the lsmod output
cdrom 33568 1 ide_cd
ide_disk 15936 7
cdrom is loaded because the ide_cd module requires it, right? But
what exactly does "use count" mean -- the number of what kinds of
things that require a particular module? In this case, ide_disk is
loaded and used by 7 things which are not other modules.
Correct, processes also use modules, but how to find out what process
uses what module goes just slightly beyond the limit of my knowledge.
