Ahoj,

just for your information -- if you want, you can link that package into the README.md:

I have created an Arch Linux package recipe for this kernel module:
"→ dev_one-dkms-git".

It uses → DKMS, and there is also a → skeleton file for dkms.conf.

If you want to include DKMS support directly into your module, you could have a look at it and include some code from → the PKGBUILD of the Arch Linux package into your Makefile.

Thanks alot for your module, it is very useful when one wants to 1-fill a flash medium (some flash media controllers regard 1s as "free up this area and give it back to the pool of unused cells") which does not support the "trim"/ "discard" operation.
I think I am now done with my work here, since I have got it "compatible" (seemingly) nicely for distribution package management.
I also do not know anything about kernel programming, and hardly any C, so with the changes to the module's code itself I also can only copypaste and do simple changes.

Regards!, and again thanks a lot for this module!
Another idea for "improvement" (and education) would be to add an optional module parameter where the byte, that a read outputs, can be specified (default to ff, with a module parameter can be set to anything else).
