[PATCH] kernel/param.c: don't use .max when .num is NULL in param_array_set()

2005-04-16T22:25:42Z

there seems to be a bug, at least for me, in kernel/param.c for arrays with .num == NULL. If .num == NULL, the function param_array_set() uses &.max for the call to param_array(), wich alters the .max value to the number of arguments. The result is, you can't set more array arguments as the last time you set the parameter. example: # a module 'example' with # static int array[10] = { 0, }; # module_param_array(array, int, NULL, 0644); $ insmod example.ko array=1,2,3 $ cat /sys/module/example/parameters/array 1,2,3 $ echo "4,3,2,1" > /sys/module/example/parameters/array $ dmesg | tail -n 1 kernel: array: can take only 3 arguments Signed-off-by: Bert Wesarg Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] Modules: Allow sysfs module parameters to be written to.

2005-01-25T04:49:07Z

This fixes a bug in the current tree preventing the sysfs module parameters from being able to be changed at all from userspace. It's as if someone just forgot to write this function... Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] handle quoted module parameters

2005-01-04T13:26:05Z

Fix module parameter quote handling. Module parameter strings (with spaces) are quoted like so: "modprm=this test" and not like this: modprm="this test" Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] module sysfs: module parameters reimplemented using attr group

2004-12-21T02:36:52Z

Reimplement parameter attributes using attribute group. This makes more sense, for, while they reside in a separate subdirectory, they belong to the ownig module and their lifetime exactly equals the lifetime of the owning module, and it's simpler.

[PATCH] module sysfs: expand module_attribute methods

Modify module_attribute show/store methods to accept self argument to enable further extensions. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[PATCH] module sysfs: make module.mkobj inline

2004-12-21T02:36:03Z

Make module.mkobj inline. As this is simpler and what's usually done with kobjs when it's representing an entity. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[PATCH] Builtin Module Parameters in sysfs too

2004-10-25T11:19:51Z

Currently, only module parameters in loaded modules are exported in /sys/modules/, while those of "modules" built into the kernel can be set by the kernel command line, but not read or set via sysfs. - move module parameters from /sys/modules/$(module_name)/$(parameter_name) to /sys/modules/$(module_name)/parameters/$(parameter_name) - remove dummy kernel_param for exporting refcnt, add "struct module *"-based attribute instead - also export module paramters for "modules" which are built into the kernel, so parameters are always accessible at /sys/modules/$(KBUILD_MODNAME)/$(parameter_name) Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell (modified) Signed-off-by: Dominik Brodowski Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] module_param_array() should take a pointer

2004-10-20T01:10:43Z

module_param_array() takes a variable to put the number of elements in. Looking through the uses, many people don't care, so they declare a dummy or share one variable between several parameters. The latter is problematic because sysfs uses that number to decide how many to display. The solution is to change the variable arg to a pointer, and if the pointer is NULL, use the "max" value. This change is fairly small, but fixing up the callers is a lot of (trivial) churn. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
