The fourth parameter of the module_param_named macro is a set of file permissions. Passing 0 there means that module parameter is not created and that adding "options ib_core force_mr=1" to a modprobe.conf file has no effect. The default setting of rdma_rw_force_mr continues to be 0, or false.

Last discussion didn't seem to conclude with full consensus. Probably people don't care enough one way or another. But I'd like to see this get fixed if there aren't strong objections. Would you take it for 4.13? drivers/infiniband/core/rw.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/infiniband/core/rw.c b/drivers/infiniband/core/rw.c index dbfd854..1cc8f07 100644 --- a/drivers/infiniband/core/rw.c +++ b/drivers/infiniband/core/rw.c @@ -23,7 +23,7 @@ enum { }; static bool rdma_rw_force_mr; -module_param_named(force_mr, rdma_rw_force_mr, bool, 0); +module_param_named(force_mr, rdma_rw_force_mr, bool, 0644); MODULE_PARM_DESC(force_mr, "Force usage of MRs for RDMA READ/WRITE operations"); /* -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
