Introduce struct option_iter and helpers to parse command-line
options with comma-separated key-value pairs. Then convert fbdev
drivers to the new interface. Fixes a memory leak in the parsing of
the video= option.
Before commit 73ce73c30ba9 ("fbdev: Transfer video= option strings to
caller; clarify ownership"), a call to fb_get_options() either
returned an internal string or a duplicated string; hence ownership of
the string's memory buffer was not well defined, but depended on how
users specified the video= option on the kernel command line. For
global settings, the caller owned the returned memory and for per-driver
settings, fb_get_options() owned the memory. As calling drivers were
unable to detect the case, they had no option but to leak the the memory.
Commit 73ce73c30ba9 ("fbdev: Transfer video= option strings to caller;
clarify ownership") changed semantics to caller-owned strings. Drivers
still leaked the memory, but at least ownership was clear.
This patchset fixes the memory leak and changes string ownership back
to fb_get_options(). Patch 1 introduces struct option_iter and a few
helpers. The interface takes an option string, such as video=, in the
common form value1,key2:value2,value3 etc and returns the individual
comma-separated pairs. Various modules use this pattern, so the code
is located under lib/.
Patches 2 to 100 go through fbdev drivers and convert them to the new
interface. This often requires a number of cleanups. A driver would
typically refer to the option string's video mode. Such strings are now
copied to driver-allocated memory so that drivers don't refer directly
to the option string's memory. The option iterator then replaces manual
parsing loops based on strsep(","). All driver-allocated memory is
released by removing the device or unloading the module.
Patch 101 finally changes the ownership of the option string to be
internal to fb_get_option(); thereby fixing the memory leak. The option
iterator holds its own copy of the string and is not affected by the
change.
Most fbdev drivers only support to parse option strings if they are
built-in. I assume that's because of the original fuzzy semantics of
fb_get_options(). A later patchset could change the driver to respect
video= settings in any configuration.
v2:
* use kstrdup()/kfree() for video strings (Geert, Timur)
* fix iterator docs (Randy)
* update iterator interface
