From 45fcc70c0b6ee0c508e1fdb5fef735c3546803f4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rusty Russell Date: Fri, 12 Jun 2009 21:46:56 -0600 Subject: module_param: split perm field into flags and perm Impact: cleanup Rather than hack KPARAM_KMALLOCED into the perm field, separate it out. Since the perm field was 32 bits and only needs 16, we don't add bloat.
