Attributes
kernel_modules
-
node['kernel_modules']['packages']
- used to make the packages requirements -
node['kernel_modules']['modules_load.d']
- used to define themodules_load.d
directory -
node['kernel_modules']['modprobe.d']
- use to define themodprobe.d
directory -
node['kernel_modules']['modules']
- use to define the list of modules you want to load/configure
Usage
Using this cookbook will load and configure every module in the attribute: node['kernel_modules']['modules']
.
For instance:
``` ruby
$ cat roles/modules.rb
name 'Load modules'
description 'Example for using kernel modules'
run_list(
'kernel-modules'
)
default_attributes(
kernel_modules:
modules: {
nfs: {
options: [

'nfs4_disable_idmapping=0',
],
alias: 'nfs4',
action: [:load],
onboot: true,
},
},
)
```
Providers & Resources
kernel_module
This provider allows to configure and load a kernel module
Actions
Action | Description |
---|---|
configure | Add the module at boot time (if needed) and set the module's modprobe configuration file |
load | Load the module once it is configured (When used the configure action will be implicitly launched before) |
unload | Unload the module |
remove | Remove the modprobe configuration file and remove the module at boot time |
Property
Name | Description | Default | Type |
---|---|---|---|
module_name |
module name | name | String |
onboot |
load the module at boot time | true | Boolean |
reload |
allow the module to be reloaded if module configuration changes | false | Boolean |
force_reload |
allow the module to be unloaded even if the module is used[1]. | false | Boolean |
alias |
set the modprobe command alias | nil | Array/String |
options |
set the modprobe command options | nil | Array/String/NilClass |
install |
set the modprobe command install | nil | String/NilClass |
remove |
set the modprobe command remove | nil | String/NilClass |
blacklist |
set the modprobe command blacklist | nil | Boolean/NilClass |
check_availability |
before loading or configuring, ensure the module is available on disk for the running kernel | false | Boolean |
For instance:
``` ruby
To load and configure "mlx4_en"
kernel_module 'mlx4_en' do
onboot true # Make the loading persistent
reload false # We don't want to reload our network module
options %w(inline_thold=120 udp_rss=1) # Specific loading options
check_availability true # Only load and configure when module is present
end
To blacklist a module
kernel_module 'pcspkr' do
onboot true
blacklist true
end
```
