Subject: dm stats: initialize read-only module parameter
X-Git-Tag: firefly_0821_release~176^2~4779^2~2
X-Git-Url: http://demsky.eecs.uci.edu/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=76f5bee5c3b45c617f91243e85547fc8f67bc678;p=firefly-linux-kernel-4.4.55.git

dm stats: initialize read-only module parameter

The module parameter stats_current_allocated_bytes in dm-mod is
read-only.  This parameter informs the user about memory
consumption.  It is not supposed to be changed by the user.

However, despite being read-only, this parameter can be set on
modprobe or insmod command line:
modprobe dm-mod stats_current_allocated_bytes=12345

The kernel doesn't expect that this variable can be non-zero at module
initialization and if the user sets it, it results in warning.

This patch initializes the variable in the module init routine, so
that user-supplied value is ignored.
