From 9bbb9e5a33109b2832e2e63dcc7a132924ab374b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rusty Russell Date: Wed, 11 Aug 2010 23:04:12 -0600 Subject: param: use ops in struct kernel_param, rather than get and set fns directly This is more kernel-ish, saves some space, and also allows us to expand the ops without breaking all the callers who are happy for the new members to be NULL. The few places which defined their own param types are changed to the new scheme (more which crept in recently fixed in following patches). Since we're touching them anyway, we change get() and set() to take a const struct kernel_param (which they really are). This causes some harmless warnings until we fix them (in following patches). To reduce churn, module_param_call creates the ops struct so the callers don't have to change (and casts the functions to reduce warnings). The modern version which takes an ops struct is called module_param_cb. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell Reviewed-by: Takashi Iwai Tested-by: Phil Carmody Cc: "David S.
