allow_discards
Allow block discard requests (a.k.a. TRIM) for the integrity device.
Discards are only allowed to devices using internal hash.
The journal mode (D/J), buffer_sectors, journal_watermark, commit_time can
be changed when reloading the target (load an inactive table and swap the
tables with suspend and resume). The other arguments should not be changed
when reloading the target because the layout of disk data depend on them
and the reloaded target would be non-functional.

This gives the full path of the modprobe command which the kernel will

The full path to the usermode helper for autoloading kernel modules,

requests a module. For example, if userspace passes an unknown
filesystem type to mount(), then the kernel will automatically request
the corresponding filesystem module by executing this usermode helper.

This only applies when the *kernel* is requesting that the module be
loaded; it won't have any effect if the module is being loaded
explicitly using ``modprobe`` from userspace.
Alternatively, if this sysctl is set to the empty string, then module
autoloading is completely disabled. The kernel will not try to
execute a usermode helper at all, nor will it call the
kernel_module_request LSM hook.
If CONFIG_STATIC_USERMODEHELPER=y is set in the kernel configuration,
then the configured static usermode helper overrides this sysctl,
except that the empty string is still accepted to completely disable
module autoloading as described above.
