[PATCH] igb_uio: kernel version check for using kstrtoul or strict_strtoul

[PATCH] igb_uio: kernel version check for using kstrtoul or strict_strtoul

[Helin Zhang]

strict_strtoul() was just a redefinition of kstrtoul() for a long
time. From kernel version of 3.18, strict_strtoul() will not be
defined at all. A compile time kernel version check is needed to
decide which function or macro can be used for a specific version
of kernel.

[Jincheng Miao]

Here is my patch for it, and it also resolves issue of pci_num_vf() 
definition.

And I will send V3 for a while.

Hi Jincheng

Did you attach anything? I can see the text only.
Could you forward your patch mail to me directly? Thanks a lot!

Helin

Hi Helin,

I indeed ever saw one patch that was similar this one :) but not sure if
it is post by Jincheng.

You can go through patchwork to have a look.

Thanks,
Michael

Hi Jincheng

I have seen your v3 patch, and ack-ed it. I just dropped my patch for the same issue. Thank you so much!
