Hi,
when one passes to the kernel a module parameter from grub2 such as:
parport.dyndbg="file drivers/parport/ieee1284_ops.c +mpf"
the kernel receives:
"parport.dyndbg=file drivers/parport/ieee1284_ops.c +mpf"
as grub2 handles quotes this way. It may be a bug in grub2, it was even
tried to be fixed, but there is no all-cases-working fix yet:
https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1181111#c10
The kernel parses the parameter correctly, though:
parse_one: doing dyndbg params: parport.dyndbg='file
drivers/parport/ieee1284_ops.c +mpf'
But libkmod doesn't. When parport is modprobe-d, this parameter is not
passed to it.
kmod_config_parse_kcmdline ignores the parameter as:
if (is_quoted) {
/* don't consider a module until closing quotes */
I am not sure how to fix this, can someone look into it and make the
parser similar to kernel's?
thanks,
