From 72db395ffadb1d33233fd123c2bf87ba0198c6c1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rusty Russell Date: Fri, 13 Jan 2012 09:32:28 +1030 Subject: [PATCH] module_param: check that bool parameters really are bool. module_param(bool) used to counter-intuitively take an int. In fddd5201 (mid-2009) we allowed bool or int/unsigned int using a messy trick. This tightens the check (you'll get a warning about incompatible return type) but still allows it. Next kernel version, we'll remove it.
