It bothers me that parsing an u64 string requires a GFP_KERNEL memory
allocation.

Aren't the params still protected by ioc->lock? Why do we need to grab both?

Any chance I can persuade you into updating match_NUMBER() helpers to not
use match_strdup()? They can easily disable irq/preemption and use percpu
buffers and we won't need most of this patchset.

Thanks.
