From b1e4d20cbf2ef8e27515da032b95fdcbb5b06bf1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Schmidt Date: Mon, 10 Oct 2011 00:03:37 +0200 Subject: params: make dashes and underscores in parameter names truly equal The user may use "foo-bar" for a kernel parameter defined as "foo_bar". Make sure it works the other way around too. Apply the equality of dashes and underscores on early_params and __setup params as well. The example given in Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt indicates that this is the intended behaviour. With the patch the kernel accepts "log-buf-len=1M" as expected. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=744545 Signed-off-by: Michal Schmidt Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell (neatened implementations) --- include/linux/moduleparam.h | 20 ++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 20 insertions(+) (limited to 'include/linux/moduleparam.h') diff --git a/include/linux/moduleparam.h b/include/linux/moduleparam.h index ddaae98c53f9..fffb10bd5514 100644 --- a/include/linux/moduleparam.h +++ b/include/linux/moduleparam.h @@ -262,6 +262,26 @@ static inline void __kernel_param_unlock(void) .str = &__param_string_##name, 0, perm); \ __MODULE_PARM_TYPE(name, "string") +/** + * parameq - checks if two parameter names match + * @name1: parameter name 1 + * @name2: parameter name 2 + * + * Returns true if the two parameter names are equal. + * Dashes (-) are considered equal to underscores (_). + */ +extern bool parameq(const char *name1, const char *name2); + +/** + * parameqn - checks if two parameter names match + * @name1: parameter name 1 + * @name2: parameter name 2 + * @n: the length to compare + * + * Similar to parameq(), except it compares @n characters. + */ +extern bool parameqn(const char *name1, const char *name2, size_t n); + /* Called on module insert or kernel boot */ extern int parse_args(const char *name, char *args, -- cgit
