Hello,

yesterday I realized a problem with compat_module_param_array() with
ksrc/drivers/can/sja1000/rtcan_mem.c under Linux 2.4. It uses
CONFIG_XENO_DRIVERS_CAN_SJA1000_MEM_MAX_DEV to define the number of mem
devices, which is set to '(4)' by "make [menuc]onfig". Unfortunately, the brackets '()' break compat_module_param_array() because it treats the count as string:

#define compat_module_param_array(name, type, count, perm) \
         static inline void *__check_existence_##name(void) { return
&name; } \
         MODULE_PARM(name, "1-" __MODULE_STRING(count)
_MODULE_PARM_STRING_##type)

Any idea how to fix that? I actually tend to remove the configuration option CONFIG_XENO_DRIVERS_CAN_SJA1000_MEM_MAX_DEV and hardcode it to "4" (without brackets) in the driver. It's kind of overkill, anyhow.

I would say that this problem is not "with compat_module_param_array",
but about the Kconfig-based constant. I don't see a way to make the
module parameter array size configurable even under vanilla 2.4. Simply
go for a patchable constant in the source code like other drivers do.

The attached patch fixes the problem:

2007-08-15  Wolfgang Grandegger  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * ksrc/drivers/can/sja1000/Kconfig,
        ksrc/drivers/can/sja1000/{rtcan_isa.c,rtcan_mem.c}: Remove config
        options XENO_DRIVERS_CAN_SJA1000_*_MAX_DEV to avoid problems with
        defining module parameters with Linux 2.4.

If nobody complains, I'm going to apply it to the trunk and the v2.3.x branch.

Wolfgang.
