lib: allow memparse() to accept a NULL and ignorable second parm

2008-07-25T17:53:27Z

Extend memparse() to allow the caller to use a NULL second parameter, which would represent no interest in returning the address of the end of the parsed string. In numerous cases, callers invoke memparse() to parse a possibly-suffixed string (such as "64K" or "2G" or whatever) and define a character pointer to accept the end pointer being returned by memparse() even though they have no interest in it and promptly throw it away. This (backward-compatible) enhancement allows callers to use NULL in the cases where they just don't care about getting back that end pointer.

[PATCH] Numerous fixes to kernel-doc info in source files.

2007-02-11T18:51:32Z

A variety of (mostly) innocuous fixes to the embedded kernel-doc content in source files, including: * make multi-line initial descriptions single line * denote some function names, constants and structs as such * change erroneous opening '/*' to '/**' in a few places * reword some text for clarity Signed-off-by: Robert P.

[PATCH] get_options to allow a hypenated range for isolcpus

2006-12-07T16:39:35Z

This allows a hyphenated range of positive numbers in the string passed to command line helper function, get_options. Currently the command line option "isolcpus=" takes as its argument a list of cpus. Format: ,..., Valid values of include all cpus, 0 to "number of CPUs in system - 1". This can get extremely long when isolating the majority of cpus on a large system. The kernel isolcpus code would not need any changing to use this feature. To use it, the change would be in the command line format for 'isolcpus=' Format: ,..., or - (must be a positive range in ascending order.) or a mixture ,...,- Signed-off-by: Derek Fults Cc: "Randy.Dunlap" Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] Module Parameter Core Patch

2002-12-15T04:13:11Z

This patch is a rewrite of the insmod and boot parameter handling, to unify them. The new format is fairly simple: built on top of __module_param_call there are several helpers, eg "module_param(foo, int, 000)". The final argument is the permissions bits, for exposing parameters in sysfs (if non-zero) at a later stage.

v2.4.3.2 -> v2.4.3.3

2002-02-05T02:11:38Z

- Hui-Fen Hsu: sis900 driver update - NIIBE Yutaka: Super-H update - Alan Cox: more resyncs (ARM down, but more to go) - David Miller: network zerocopy, Sparc sync, qlogic,FC fix, etc. - David Miller/me: get rid of various drivers hacks to do mmap alignment behind the back of the VM layer. Create a real protocol for it.
