2005-09-07	[PATCH] introduce and use kzalloc	Pekka J Enberg
	This patch introduces a kzalloc wrapper and converts kernel/ to use it. It saves a little program text. Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi> Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-06-20	[PATCH] sysfs: (rest) if show/store is missing return -EIO	Dmitry Torokhov
	sysfs: fix the rest of the kernel so if an attribute doesn't implement show or store method read/write will return -EIO instead of 0 or -EINVAL or -EPERM. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@mail.ru> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2005-04-16	[PATCH] kernel/param.c: don't use .max when .num is NULL in param_array_set()	Bert Wesarg
	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 <wesarg@informatik.uni-halle.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-01-24	[PATCH] Modules: Allow sysfs module parameters to be written to.	Greg Kroah-Hartman
	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 <greg@kroah.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2005-01-04	[PATCH] handle quoted module parameters	Randy Dunlap
	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 <rddunlap@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2004-12-20	[PATCH] module sysfs: module parameters reimplemented using attr group	Tejun Heo
	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.

2004-12-20	[PATCH] module sysfs: expand module_attribute methods	Tejun Heo

2004-12-20	[PATCH] module sysfs: make module.mkobj inline	Tejun Heo
	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 <tj@home-tj.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <greg@kroah.com>
2004-10-25	[PATCH] Builtin Module Parameters in sysfs too	Rusty Russell
	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 <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> (modified) Signed-off-by: Dominik Brodowski <linux@brodo.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2004-10-19	[PATCH] module_param_array() should take a pointer	Rusty Russell
	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.

2004-08-22	[PATCH] fix reading string module parameters in sysfs	Arnd Bergmann
	Reading the contents of a module_param_string through sysfs currently oopses because the param_get_charp() function cannot operate on a kparam_string struct. This introduces the required param_get_string. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2004-08-04	MODULE: add byte type of module paramater, like the comments say we support...	Greg Kroah-Hartman
	Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <greg@kroah.com>
2004-05-07	Add modules to sysfs	Greg Kroah-Hartman
	This patch adds basic kobject support to struct module, and it creates a /sys/module directory which contains all of the individual modules. Each module currently exports the refcount (if they are unloadable) and any module paramaters that are marked exportable in sysfs. Was written by me and Rusty over and over many times during the past 6 months.
2004-04-11	[PATCH] Strip quotes from kernel parameters	Andrew Morton
	From: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Agustin Martin <agmartin@debian.org> pointed out that this doesn't work: options ide-mod options="ide=nodma hdc=cdrom" The quotes are understood by kernel/params.c (ie. it skips over spaces inside them), but are not stripped before handing to the underlying function. They should be.
2003-10-01	[PATCH] module parameter array fixes	Andrew Morton
	From: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Found this while converting netfilter modules to use the new parameters. Also fixes an out-by-one error in maximum elements you can put in array. The current "intarray" module params were never tested, and um, suck. Only one person uses them, and it looks painful. Since noone uses them, replace them with tested versions.
2003-08-17	[PATCH] use simple_strtoul for unsigned kernel parameters	Jamie Lokier
	The largest "unsigned int" value doesn't fit in a "long", on many machines. So we should use simple_strtoul, not simple_strtol, to decode these values.
2003-02-02	[PATCH] kernel param and KBUILD_MODNAME name-munging mess	Andrew Morton
	Patch from: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Mikael Pettersson points out that "-s" gets mangled to "_s" on the kernel command line, even though it turns out not to be a parameter.
2002-12-29	[PATCH] more module parameter parsing bugs	Rusty Russell
	We restore the ","s after parsing: if expect to keep pointers to this stuff, we must not do that.
2002-12-17	[PATCH] fix the build for old gcc's	Andrew Morton
	Older gcc's do not support that form of ellipsis in a macro.
2002-12-14	[PATCH] Module Parameter Core Patch	Rusty Russell
	This patch is a rewrite of the insmod and boot parameter handling, to unify them. The new format is fairly simple: built on top of __module_param_call there are several helpers, eg "module_param(foo, int, 000)". The final argument is the permissions bits, for exposing parameters in sysfs (if non-zero) at a later stage.
