Date: Thu, 21 Nov 2013 15:47:58 +0100 From: Raphael Hertzog <hertzog@...ian.org> To: Rusty Russell <rusty@...tcorp.com.au> Cc: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: Some kernel module options not showing up in modinfo Hello, I noticed that some options are not visible in the modinfo output. For instance "modinfo lockd" reports this on my Debian sid system: $ modinfo lockd filename: /lib/modules/3.11-1-amd64/kernel/fs/lockd/lockd.ko license: GPL description: NFS file locking service version 0.5. author: Olaf Kirch <okir@...ad.swb.de> depends: sunrpc intree: Y vermagic: 3.11-1-amd64 SMP mod_unload modversions parm: nsm_use_hostnames:bool parm: nlm_max_connections:uint $ Yet I know that there are more options and the kernel source code confirms this: http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/fs/lockd/svc.c#L569 Multiple other options are defined by way of module_param_call(...) like nlm_grace_period, nlm_timeout, nlm_updport, nlm_tcpport. Ben Hutchings (one of the Debian kernel maintainers) confirmed me that this was unexpected and suggested me to report it to you. If you have any questions, just ask.
