Homework and Emergencies Emergency UNIX and Linux Support Linux: passing parameters to kernel modules Post 302640665 by otheus on Tuesday 15th of May 2012 07:56:30 AM

Indeed, I see the same problem on our system.

---------- Post updated at 01:56 PM ---------- Previous update was at 01:51 PM ----------

Ah, it's a read-only value in the driver source. This might be a bug.

Code:
int qlport_down_retry;
module_param(qlport_down_retry, int, S_IRUGO|S_IRUSR);
MODULE_PARM_DESC(qlport_down_retry,
                "Maximum number of command retries to a port that returns"
                "a PORT-DOWN status.");

If you could write to it, the S_IRUSR would be S_IWUSR.

See the final paragraph in the description of the macro here: 2.8. Module Parameters
