The patch titled Subject: lib: move strtobool() to kstrtobool() has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is lib-move-strtobool-to-kstrtobool.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/lib-move-strtobool-to-kstrtobool.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/lib-move-strtobool-to-kstrtobool.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: lib: move strtobool() to kstrtobool() Create the kstrtobool_from_user() helper and move strtobool() logic into the new kstrtobool() (matching all the other kstrto* functions). Provides an inline wrapper for existing strtobool() callers.
