SUMMARY: Retrieve the parameters for kernel module

Thanks for the responses - Tim Bradshaw, Mehran Salehi, Peter
Winterflood, Joe A, Peter Dowling.

Peter Dowling's answer was very much on target - using adb -k /dev/ksyms
/dev/mem to check the parameters. I could check the parameters such as
max_nprocs, npty but not hba0-xxxx etc. May be qla module doesn't reply
those queries.

Thanks

Subject: Retrieve the parameters for kernel module

Gurus,

Is there any way to find out what values are set for parameters of a
particular module in kernel?

To elaborate - HP branded Qlogic card configuration is set in
/kernel/drv/qla2300.conf and the module is qla2300 in the kernel
(obtained from modinfo). I want to know the values of parameters such as
hba0-link-down-timeout, hba0-port-down-retry-count etc that are set in
kernel. I can see the values from the file itself but the file has been
modified and I want to make sure the values in kernel are indeed the
values specified in qla2300.conf.

One more reason to know this is - I would like to change and verify
these parameters on the fly by using modunload and modload after making
the changes to qla2300.conf.

Thanks in advance,
Ketan
