While the ringbuffer size is a module parameter; there is a default value. The current size refers to the default. Your comment applies to the current value (of 128) as well in that it is possible for somebody to load this driver with a ringbuffer size that could not support the value of 128. If this is the case, we fail the load. This safety check continues to exist. Regards, K.
