mem-hotplug: avoid illegal state prefixed with legal state when changing state of memory_block
We use the following command to online a memory_block: echo online|online_kernel|online_movable > /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryXXX/state But, if we do the following: echo online_fhsjkghfkd > /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryXXX/state the block will also be onlined. This is because the following code in store_mem_state() does not compare the whole string, but only the prefix of the string. store_mem_state() { ...... 328 if (!strncmp(buf, "online_kernel", min_t(int, count, 13))) Here, only compare the first 13 letters of the string. If we give "online_kernelXXXXXX", it will be recognized as online_kernel, which is incorrect. 329 online_type = ONLINE_KERNEL; 330 else if (!strncmp(buf, "online_movable", min_t(int, count, 14))) We have the same problem here, 331 online_type = ONLINE_MOVABLE; 332 else if (!strncmp(buf, "online", min_t(int, count, 6))) here, (Here is more problematic. If we give online_movalbe, which is a typo of online_movable, it will be recognized as online without noticing the author.) 333 online_type = ONLINE_KEEP; 334 else if (!strncmp(buf, "offline", min_t(int, count, 7))) and here. 335 online_type = -1; 336 else { 337 ret = -EINVAL; 338 goto err; 339 } ...... } This patch fixes this problem by using sysfs_streq() to compare the whole string.
