Subject: [PATCH 1/3] btrfs-progs: enhance find_option()
Date: Mon, 23 Feb 2026 09:42:58 +1030 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4f0ee51a24d281ae387f01db510e825e9259f73f.1771801832.git.wqu@suse.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1771801832.git.wqu@suse.com>
There are two minor problems in that function:
- Latest GCC reports dropped 'const' qualifier
The latest GCC (15.2.1) will report the 'const' qualifier is dropped
for the strstr() call.
It looks like the latest GCC has taken the 'const' qualifier checks
one step further, that any pointer that points into a 'const' pointer
should also have a 'const' qualifier, to make sure there is no
modification into the original pointed memory.
In our case, @options parameter has a 'const' qualifier, thus the
returned @tmp pointer should also have a 'const' qualifier, or we can
modify the @options through @tmp.
- No error handling if strdup() failed
Enhance them by:
- Add the 'const' qualifier for @tmp
This also means we can not use @tmp pointer to modify the newly
duplicated string.
Instead use a new @i index to access the new string.
- Return NULL if strdup() failed
And make the caller check errno for memory allocation failure.
