If a "module" (whether built as a loadable module or builtin to the kernel image) uses module_param() with a permission (or mode) field that allows reading that parameter, then the parameter will show up in /sys/module/<module>/parameters/<parameter>. E.g., drivers/scsi/sg has these parameters listed and are readable by anyone: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Sep 5 10:07 allow_dio -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Sep 5 10:07 def_reserved_size -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Sep 5 10:07 scatter_elem_sz However, the st driver uses 0 for permission (mode), so none of its parameters is visible. --- ~Randy *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
