Description of problem: Documentation regarding bonding module options for debug output are incorrect for RHEL5.5 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): http://www.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5.5/html/Deployment_Guide/s2-modules-bonding.html How reproducible: Checked that the bonding module does not provide a debug option. # modinfo bonding | grep debug Actual results: No debug option present in the bonding module. Expected results: Either a debug option in the bonding module _or_ no debug listed in the documentation. Additional info: I'm not sure if this a bonding 'bug' (lack of debug) or just old documentation that was not updated...
grep -i debug $(rpm -ql kernel-doc |grep bonding) ...gives no results. The debug option has evidently removed, so this looks like a documentation fix. Andy, is the fix to simply remove debug from the list of bonding module options in the Deployment Guide? Thanks, Silas
The documentation needs to stay, as I see the bonding option in the code and on a running system: [gospo@quad rhel5.5.z]$ grep debug drivers/net/bonding/bond_main.c int debug = 0; module_param(debug, int, 0); MODULE_PARM_DESC(debug, "Print debug messages; 0 for off (default), 1 for on"); # modinfo bonding | grep debug parm: debug:Print debug messages; 0 for off (default), 1 for on (int) # cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.5 (Tikanga) # uname -rp 2.6.18-194.el5 x86_64 please check to see that you are running 5.5 and reopen if needed.
