Handling module parameters
Similar to a user program, a kernel module can accept arguments from the command line. This allows us to dynamically change the behavior of the module according to the given parameters, which can help a developer not have to indefinitely change/compile the module during a test/debug session. In order to set this up, we should first declare the variables that will hold the values of command-line arguments and use the module_param() macro on each of these. The macro is defined in include/linux/moduleparam.h (this should be included in the code too – #include <linux/moduleparam.h>) as follows:
module_param(name, type, perm);
This macro contains the following elements:
name: The name of the variable used as the parameter.type: The parameter's type (bool,charp,byte,short,ushort,int,uint,long, andulong), wherecharpstands for character pointer.perm: This represents the/sys/module/<module>/parameters/<...
