Subject: [PATCH 3/8] samples: rust_minimal: demonstrate string module parameter
Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2026 15:47:29 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260226234736.428341-4-thepacketgeek@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260226234736.428341-1-thepacketgeek@gmail.com>
Add a `test_str` string parameter alongside the existing integer
parameter (renamed from `test_parameter` to `test_int` for clarity)
in the rust_minimal sample module.
The init function now prints both parameters to the kernel log,
showing how string parameters are declared, defaulted, and read
back via StringParam::as_cstr().
Also add module-level documentation showing usage via insmod and
kernel command-line with dotted notation.
