Subject: [PATCH 6.1.y 2/4] platform/x86: think-lmi: Replace kstrdup() + strreplace() with kstrdup_and_replace()
Date: Wed,  9 Sep 2026 12:27:12 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260909162714.2984324-2-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)

[ Upstream commit e621198016e99cddc097d32cd3b56b15cee27d91 ]

Replace open coded functionalify of kstrdup_and_replace() with a call.

Adapt the current_value_store() conversion to the 6.1 tree, which lacks
bulk-save support. Keep the existing permission and save behavior instead
of introducing references to absent save_mode and reboot_required fields.

Also replace the remaining strip_cr() call in current_password_store()
with strreplace() and remove the now-unused helper. This supplies the
context expected by 54745d563114 ("platform/x86: think-lmi: Fix current
password length check") without adding functions or changing the password
length checks in this dependency.

The earlier kstrdup_and_replace() dependency also assumes the upstream
strreplace() return-value change from d01a77afd6be. In this stable tree,
strreplace() still returns the string's end, so explicitly return dst from
kstrdup_and_replace() after performing the replacement. This preserves the
allocation pointer for the newly converted callers and their frees.
