DESCRIPTION

14       init_module initializes a loadable module entry given by umod, which is
15       indicated  by  the module's init function. The len and uargs values are
16       sent to the load_module function, which is utilized by  sys_init_module
17       to  get information on the module. The uargs contain any user space ar‐
18       guments to apply to the module. The len value indicates the size of the
19       memory section the module loads into.
