I am working on a linux kernel tcp congestion control module and was using the module_param macro to get some runtime configurable parameters.

When submitting to the netdev mailing list, the automated bot gives the following message:

netdev/deprecated_api - fail - Found: 'module_param' was: 0 now: 11

This sounds like the use of module_param is deprecated in the netdev ecosystem, but I can't find anything about it or a recommended replacement.

Could anybody help & explain the situation here and maybe provide a replacement option for runtime configurable parameters?

  • module_param() is highly discouraged in a new code. I suspect the proper channel for this type is netlink. Commented Apr 7 at 21:19
