[patch v2] mm, thp: fix defrag setting if newline is not used

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



If thp defrag setting "defer" is used and a newline is *not* used when
writing to the sysfs file, this is interpreted as the "defer+madvise"
option.

This is because we do prefix matching and if five characters are written
without a newline, the current code ends up comparing to the first five
bytes of the "defer+madvise" option and using that instead.

Use the more appropriate sysfs_streq() that handles the trailing newline
for us.  Since this doubles as a nice cleanup, do it in enabled_store()
as well.

 Latest 5.5-rc6 doesn't boot for me, something to be debugged separately,
 so this was tested on 5.4.  No changes in this area, however, between
 the two kernels.
