Today, anything that uses "module_param()" with bool type (a quick git grep shows 570 users), already do not require a value. Randomly looking at one... drivers/input/mouse/synaptics_i2c.c, you can just do: insmod synaptics_i2c.ko no_filter no need to add a "=1" to that. But anything else will still require a value. I just want to allow other parameters that act like a boolean to not require one. -- Steve -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
