| |
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@monad.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.
