[PATCH] kernel/param.c: don't use .max when .num is NULL in param_array_set()
there seems to be a bug, at least for me, in kernel/param.c for arrays with .num == NULL. If .num == NULL, the function param_array_set() uses &.max for the call to param_array(), wich alters the .max value to the number of arguments. The result is, you can't set more array arguments as the last time you set the parameter. example: # a module 'example' with # static int array[10] = { 0, }; # module_param_array(array, int, NULL, 0644); $ insmod example.ko array=1,2,3 $ cat /sys/module/example/parameters/array 1,2,3 $ echo "4,3,2,1" > /sys/module/example/parameters/array $ dmesg | tail -n 1 kernel: array: can take only 3 arguments Signed-off-by: Bert Wesarg <wesarg@informatik.uni-halle.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
