[alsa-devel] [PATCH 1149/1285] Replace numeric parameter like 0444 with macro
I find that the developers often just specified the numeric value when calling a macro which is defined with a parameter for access permission. As we know, these numeric value for access permission have had the corresponding macro, and that using macro can improve the robustness and readability of the code, thus, I suggest replacing the numeric parameter with the macro.

this is actually a quite common issue - taking your example and generalizing it into a simple coccinelle scanner shows aproximately 1400 cases for module_param, module_param_array and module_param_named.

as S_IRUSR | S_IRGRP | S_IROTH == S_IRUGO this (and the others below could be simplfied
+module_param_array(dsp_map, int, NULL, S_IRUGO);
MODULE_PARM_DESC(dsp_map, "PCM device number assigned to 1st OSS device."); -module_param_array(adsp_map, int, NULL, 0444); +module_param_array(adsp_map, int, NULL, S_IRUSR | S_IRGRP | S_IROTH); MODULE_PARM_DESC(adsp_map, "PCM device number assigned to 2nd OSS device."); -module_param(nonblock_open, bool, 0644); +module_param(nonblock_open, bool, S_IRUSR | S_IWUSR | S_IRGRP | S_IROTH);
for 0644 one could also use S_IWUSR | S_IRUGO which might be more redaable here as well.
MODULE_PARM_DESC(nonblock_open, "Don't block opening busy PCM devices."); MODULE_ALIAS_SNDRV_MINOR(SNDRV_MINOR_OSS_PCM); MODULE_ALIAS_SNDRV_MINOR(SNDRV_MINOR_OSS_PCM1);
