Re: How many params can be accept by kernel module at most?

[tingwei liu]

The params are transferred by command line. And the params are all in
program statically. So the stack size determine the params number. For
example: stack size is 4K,and params are unsigned int type with 4
bytes,so the max number of params is 1 thousandã
