From 730b69d225259565c705f5f5a11cb1aba69568f1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rusty Russell Date: Wed, 22 Oct 2008 10:00:22 -0500 Subject: module: check kernel param length at compile time, not runtime The kparam code tries to handle over-length parameter prefixes at runtime. Not only would I bet this has never been tested, it's not clear that truncating names is a good idea either. So let's check at compile time. We need to move the #define to moduleparam.h to do this, though.
