From 40a826bd6c82ae45cfd3a19cd2a60a10f56b74c0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Petr Pavlu Date: Mon, 30 Jun 2025 16:32:36 +0200 Subject: module: Rename MAX_PARAM_PREFIX_LEN to __MODULE_NAME_LEN The maximum module name length (MODULE_NAME_LEN) is somewhat confusingly defined in terms of the maximum parameter prefix length (MAX_PARAM_PREFIX_LEN), when in fact the dependency is in the opposite direction. This split originates from commit 730b69d22525 ("module: check kernel param length at compile time, not runtime"). The code needed to use MODULE_NAME_LEN in moduleparam.h, but because module.h requires moduleparam.h, this created a circular dependency. It was resolved by introducing MAX_PARAM_PREFIX_LEN in moduleparam.h and defining MODULE_NAME_LEN in module.h in terms of MAX_PARAM_PREFIX_LEN. Rename MAX_PARAM_PREFIX_LEN to __MODULE_NAME_LEN for clarity. This matches the similar approach of defining MODULE_INFO in module.h and __MODULE_INFO in moduleparam.h.
