unique names for module parameters

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

 



Hi,

If a module has a parameter like "base", and you want to build a
monolithic kernel, as I understand it, you must put into your lilo/grub
kenel command-line. Is that correct?

If that is the case, then surely it is a bit short-sighted to use module
parameter names like "base" and "irq", etc because there is a very good
chance of modules using the same parameter names, and hence causing a
kind of name-space pollution?

Would it not make more sense to prefix all module parameters in a more
consistent manner eg:

    scx200_acb_base=0x810,0x820,0x830,0x840
    scx200_acb_sioaddr=0x2e,0x4e,0x15c
    scx200_acb_irq=5

Regards,
Thomas
