The patch titled Subject: param: convert some "on"/"off" users to strtobool has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is param-convert-some-on-off-users-to-strtobool.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/param-convert-some-on-off-users-to-strtobool.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/param-convert-some-on-off-users-to-strtobool.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: param: convert some "on"/"off" users to strtobool This changes several users of manual "on"/"off" parsing to use strtobool. (Which means they will now parse y/n/1/0 meaningfully too.)
