[PATCH 0/3] lib: add "on" and "off" to strtobool

[PATCH 0/3] lib: add "on" and "off" to strtobool

[Kees Cook]

This consolidates logic for handling "on"/"off" parsing for bools into
the existing strtobool function. This requires making sure callers are
passing NULL-terminated strings.

[PATCH 1/3] lib: fix callers of strtobool to use char array

[Kees Cook]

Some callers of strtobool were passing a pointer to unterminated strings.
This fixes the issue and consolidates some logic in cifs.

My comments below.

First of all I don't think currently there is an issue in cifs, since
strbool checks only first character of the input string, or are you
talking about something else?

Can we do strtobool_from_user() instead like kstrto*from_user() and
similar helpers are done?

I would suggest to do a separate patch which just changes a pattern
and thus indentation without changing anything in functionality.

Right, no, this is a fix before extending strtobool to parse the
second character in the string (for handling "on" and "off").

Yeah, that might clean this up a bit more. I will add it.

You should probably point out that it's a slight behaviour change for some
users. ie. parameters that previously *only* worked with "on"/"off", can now
also take 0/1/y/n etc.

But I don't think that's a show stopper.
