The original parsing code is this:
if ((str = strchr(str, ',')) != NULL)
str++;
Which effectivly steps through
/dev/sda1,/dev/sdab1,/dev/sdc1
like this
str == /dev/sda1,/dev/sdab1,/dev/sdc1
str == /dev/sdab1,/dev/sdc1
str == /dev/sdc1
My code: char *ndevstr;
ndevstr = strchr(str, ',');
if (ndevstr != NULL) *ndevstr++ = 0;
...
str = ndevstr
Works perfectly. I don't find it 'clumsy' or more complex at all. (I don't care
for strtok, nor did I even know the kernel had it)
However I don't see this critique of coding style helping the problem I'm
seeing:
name_to_kdev_t(str);
Returns a bad value. Yet
name_to_kdev_t("/dev/sdd5");
does not. The strange thing is
printk("Checking: '%s'\n", str);
shows str does infact contain a proper string.
It appears str does not get passed to name_to_kdev_t() properly,
and I have no idea why. Both my testing code and the original code
exhibit the same problem.
