Hi,
Is there a way to load a kernel module from another module and pass
parameters to it? Something like
request_module("mymod param1=val1");
Thanks,
Okash

I think this is exactly what you are looking for:
from include/linux/kmod.h
#define request_module(mod...) __request_module(true, mod)
and from kernel/kmod.c
/**
* __request_module - try to load a kernel module
* @wait: wait (or not) for the operation to complete
* @fmt: printf style format string for the name of the module
* @...: arguments as specified in the format string
*
* Load a module using the user mode module loader. The function returns
* zero on success or a negative errno code or positive exit code from
* "modprobe" on failure. Note that a successful module load does not mean
* the module did not then unload and exit on an error of its own. Callers
* must check that the service they requested is now available not blindly
* invoke it.
*
* If module auto-loading support is disabled then this function
* becomes a no-operation.
*/
int __request_module(bool wait, const char *fmt, ...)
In normal situtations, you just call exported functions from another
kernel module. Module order and dependencies between these modules are
handled by depmod at module installation time, as far as I know.

I think this is exactly what you are looking for:
This works fine when no parameters are supplied. But if I call it like
this:
request_module("mymod param1=val1");
It doesn't work.
