Or do you > mean add some attributes to the control device?You need to do something, as no one can mess with a module parameter easily. Why do you need them at all, shouldn't it "just work" properly with no need for userspace interaction?> > > +static int vduse_init(void) > > > +{ > > > + int ret; > > > + > > > + if (max_bounce_size >= max_iova_size) > > > + return -EINVAL; > > > + > > > + ret = misc_register(&vduse_misc); > > > + if (ret) > > > + return ret; > > > + > > > + vduse_class = class_create(THIS_MODULE, "vduse"); > > > > If you have a misc device, you do not need to create a class at the same > > time.

Then how about using the same MAJOR for all of these, and just have the first minor (0) be your control? That happens for other device types (raw, loop, etc.). Or just document this really well please, as it was not obvious what you were doing here. thanks, greg k-h
