Continuation of recent upstream discussion [1] regarding user string tokenization. First, tokenize_user_input() is introduced to allow for splitting specified user string into a sequence of integers. Makes use of get_options() internally so the parsing logic is not duplicated. With that done, redundant parts of the sound driver are removed. Originally similar functionality was added for the SOF sound driver. As more users are on the horizon, it is desirable to update existing string_helpers code and provide a unified solution. Changes in v3: - relocated tokenize_user_input() implementation to string_helpers as requested by Matthew Changes in v2: - reused get_options() so no parsing logic is duplicated - simplified __user variant with help of memdup_user_nul() Both suggested by Andy, thanks for thourough review [1]: https://lore.kernel.org/alsa-devel/20220707091301.1282291-1-cezary.rojewski@xxxxxxxxx/ Cezary Rojewski (2): lib/string_helpers: Introduce tokenize_user_input() ASoC: SOF: Remove strsplit_u32() and tokenize_input() include/linux/string_helpers.h | 2 + lib/string_helpers.c | 45 +++++++++++++++ sound/soc/sof/sof-client-probes.c | 93 ++++--------------------------- 3 files changed, 59 insertions(+), 81 deletions(-) -- 2.25.1
