Feedback: Bugfix for debugging code 

Forum: PCMCIA driver development

From: Steve Bonds sbonds

While trying to debug a PCMCIA installation problem, I discovered that several of the PCMCIA modules were segfaulting when pc_debug=<number> was used. I went through the code and discovered that in many modules (i82365.c, tcic.c, others) there is the following declaration: static int pc_debug = PCMCIA_DEBUG; followed by: MODULE_PARM(pc_debug, "i"); which tries to change the value of the static variable. This causes segfaults. I'm currently using version 3.0.14, though I have checked and the bug appears to still be present in version 3.1.4.
