lib: Introduce strnstr()

2010-01-15T03:38:09Z

It differs strstr() in that it limits the length to be searched in the first string. Signed-off-by: Li Zefan LKML-Reference: <4B4E8743.6030805@cn.fujitsu.com> Acked-by: Frederic Weisbecker Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

Subject: Re: [PATCH] strstrip incorrectly marked __must_check

2009-12-15T16:53:34Z

Recently, We marked strstrip() as must_check. because it was frequently misused and it should be checked. However, we found one exception. scsi/ipr.c intentionally ignore return value of strstrip. Because it wishes to keep the whitespace at the beginning. Thus we need to keep with and without checked whitespace trim function. This patch adds a new strim() and changes ipr.c to use it.

string: on strstrip(), first remove leading spaces before running over str

string: factorize skip_spaces and export it to be generally available

2009-12-15T16:53:32Z

On the following sentence: while (*s && isspace(*s)) s++; If *s == 0, isspace() evaluates to ((_ctype[*s] & 0x20) != 0), which evaluates to ((0x08 & 0x20) != 0) which equals to 0 as well. If *s == 1, we depend on isspace() result anyway. In other words, "a char equals zero is never a space", so remove this check. Also, *s != 0 is most common case (non-null string). Fixed const return as noticed by Jan Engelhardt and James Bottomley. Fixed unnecessary extra cast on strstrip() as noticed by Jan Engelhardt.

strcmp: fix overflow and possibly signedness error

2009-11-19T01:18:13Z

Doing the strcmp return value as signed char __res = *cs - *ct; is wrong for two reasons. The subtraction can overflow because __res doesn't use a type big enough. Moreover the compared bytes should be interpreted as unsigned char as specified by POSIX. The same problem is fixed in strncmp.

Add a new sysfs_streq() string comparison function

2008-05-01T15:03:59Z

Add a new sysfs_streq() string comparison function, which ignores the trailing newlines found in sysfs inputs. By example: sysfs_streq("a", "b") ==> false sysfs_streq("a", "a") ==> true sysfs_streq("a", "a\n") ==> true sysfs_streq("a\n", "a") ==> true This is intended to simplify parsing of sysfs inputs, letting them avoid the need to manually strip off newlines from inputs.
