The difference between these results is that
'205 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Oct 22 13:13 usbfs_snoop' on CentOS 5.2 is
reported as '200 drwxr-xr-x  2 root root    0 Oct 22 13:03' on Debian Sarge
if CONFIG_USB=y.

Debian Sarge: gcc (GCC) 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-13)
CentOS 5.2:   gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 20071124 (Red Hat 4.1.2-42)

This might be compiler version dependent. What can I do?

Isn't http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.27.y.git;a=summary (as of this posting)
identical to http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.27.2.tar.bz2 ?

I really have no idea what is causing this, and can't seem to duplicate
this here at all.

Anyone else?

Hello.

I tested 2.6.27.3 on Debian Sarge. I got the same result.

So, I tried to produce different results.

I pruned declaration of module_param(usbfs_snoop) like

  static int usbfs_snoop;
  /*
  module_param(usbfs_snoop, bool, S_IRUGO | S_IWUSR);
  MODULE_PARM_DESC(usbfs_snoop, "true to log all usbfs traffic");
  */

and I got the below result.

  # ls -ail /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/
  total 0
  189 drwxr-xr-x  2 root root    0 Oct 24  2008
  189 drwxr-xr-x  2 root root    0 Oct 24  2008 .
  188 drwxr-xr-x  4 root root    0 Oct 24  2008 ..
  190 -rw-r--r--  1 root root 4096 Oct 24  2008 autosuspend
  192 -r--r--r--  1 root root 4096 Oct 24  2008 blinkenlights
  193 -rw-r--r--  1 root root 4096 Oct 24  2008 old_scheme_first

This time, 'use_both_schemes' entry became no-name.

I added declaration of module_param(usbfs_aaaaa) and module_param(usbfs_zzzzz)
like

  static int usbfs_aaaaa;
  module_param(usbfs_aaaaa, bool, S_IRUGO | S_IWUSR);
  MODULE_PARM_DESC(usbfs_aaaaa, "true to log all usbfs traffic");
  
  static int usbfs_snoop;
  module_param(usbfs_snoop, bool, S_IRUGO | S_IWUSR);
  MODULE_PARM_DESC(usbfs_snoop, "true to log all usbfs traffic");
  
  static int usbfs_zzzzz;
  module_param(usbfs_zzzzz, bool, S_IRUGO | S_IWUSR);
  MODULE_PARM_DESC(usbfs_zzzzz, "true to log all usbfs traffic");

and I got the below result.

  # ls -ail /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/
  total 0
  189 drwxr-xr-x  2 root root    0 Oct 24  2008
  189 drwxr-xr-x  2 root root    0 Oct 24  2008 .
  188 drwxr-xr-x  4 root root    0 Oct 24  2008 ..
  190 -rw-r--r--  1 root root 4096 Oct 24  2008 autosuspend
  192 -r--r--r--  1 root root 4096 Oct 24  2008 blinkenlights
  193 -rw-r--r--  1 root root 4096 Oct 24  2008 old_scheme_first
  195 -rw-r--r--  1 root root 4096 Oct 24  2008 usbfs_aaaaa
  196 -rw-r--r--  1 root root 4096 Oct 24  2008 usbfs_snoop
  194 -rw-r--r--  1 root root 4096 Oct 24  2008 use_both_schemes

This time, 'usbfs_zzzzz' entry became no-name.

It seems to me that somebody is overwriting (or truncating) at address
of module_param(usbfs_snoop) .

Is there a way to change the address of module_param() defined by
usbcore module?

Regards.
