Question About Use of Module Parameter

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi

We are working on a feature that requires the driver to somehow indicate a status to an application in user-mode. We were thinking of using a module parameter and sysfs as follows:

- driver updates the module parameter with the status (boolean is fine), so it is writing the status

- There is no need for the application to receive notifications in an interrupt-like manner so periodically scanning the module parameter via file reads in sysfs will work fine. User mode application is read-only for the module parameter.

My question, is this a "proper" use of a module parameter or is there another preferred method for accomplishing this feat?

Regards

Rory Filer
