From 4d7df821277e82ebe2fc9c9af07c928a83f572b8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ian Abbott Date: Fri, 13 Apr 2012 14:12:53 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] staging: comedi: Add module parameters for default buffer size For comedi subdevices that support asynchronous transfer commands, the initial buffer size and maximum buffer size for the transfer are both set to 64 KiB when the comedi device is "attached" to the hardware device. For many applications with reasonable fast sample rates and slow user-space (e.g. Python) these sizes are a bit too small. A task with CAP_SYS_ADMIN privileges can change the maximum buffer size for a comedi subdevice with an ioctl call or by writing to a device attribute file in sysfs, but that's not very convenient. For comedi devices attached during system startup, this could be done by a start-up script, but for hot-plugged devices it would require scripts run by udev rules, etc. Rather than use hardwired values, this patch introduces a couple of module parameters to set the defaults for the initial buffer size (comedi_default_buf_size_kb) and maximum buffer size (comedi_default_buf_maxsize_kb). These values are applied in place of the previous hard-wired values when the comedi device is "attached". The module parameter values are in units of KiB for consistency with the existing device attribute files.
