This is the wrong way to do this.
Don't put things in a charp and process it later. It's lazy. You
should write parsers for it and call it straight from module_param.
And if you do it that way, multiple devices are simply multiple
arguments.
Like so:
static int virtio_mmio_set(const char *val, const struct kernel_param *kp)
{
if (!virtio_mmio_cmdline_parent_initialized) {
err = device_register(&virtio_mmio_cmdline_parent);
if (err)
return err;
virtio_mmio_cmdline_parent_initialized = true;
}
... parse here, return -errno on fail, 0 on success.
}
static struct kernel_param_ops param_ops_virtio_mmio = {
.set = virtio_mmio_set,
.get = virtio_mmio_get,
};
module_param_cb(device, ¶m_ops_virtio_mmio, NULL, 0400);
Initialization and error handling is now done for you...
Cheers,
Rusty.
