What happens if the user is writing to quirks_param at the same time
that you memcpy it?

I think you're going about this wrong by trying to use the
module_param_string machinery.  You should be using module_param_cb()
to build the quirks list when the user writes it (and then translate
back into a string when the user wants to read from it.

Thanks! module_param_cb() is exactly what I want.
I’ll use it in next version.

Also, you won't need to use a linked list for this; you can just allocate
an array of quirks.


I use linked list because the total quirks number is known after the entire string gets parsed. Do you suggest that I should just alloc a predefined number (like 16) quirk entries, instead of doing it dynamically?
