From 54041d8a73337411b485ff76957fb106cb5d40d0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rusty Russell Date: Tue, 2 Jul 2013 15:35:12 +0930 Subject: modules: don't fail to load on unknown parameters. Although parameters are supposed to be part of the kernel API, experimental parameters are often removed. In addition, downgrading a kernel might cause previously-working modules to fail to load. On balance, it's probably better to warn, and load the module anyway. This may let through a typo, but at least the logs will show it.
