linux-toradex.git/block/partitions/mac.c, branch v4.0 Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules block: Replace strnicmp with strncasecmp 2014-09-27T22:48:55+00:00 Rasmus Villemoes linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk 2014-09-16T20:51:16+00:00 582940508b5d589229d0232e0eeee8fef0d54809 The kernel used to contain two functions for length-delimited, case-insensitive string comparison, strnicmp with correct semantics and a slightly buggy strncasecmp. The latter is the POSIX name, so strnicmp was renamed to strncasecmp, and strnicmp made into a wrapper for the new strncasecmp to avoid breaking existing users. To allow the compat wrapper strnicmp to be removed at some point in the future, and to avoid the extra indirection cost, do s/strnicmp/strncasecmp/g.

block/partitions/mac.c: obey the state->limit constraint 2013-02-28T03:10:21+00:00 Ming Lei ming.lei@canonical.com 2013-02-28T01:05:18+00:00 06004e6eebdaf101a0f9b533fac77b5768d2c09c It isn't necessary to read the information of partitions whose number is equal and more than state->limit since only maximum state->limit partitions will be added inside rescan_partitions(). That is also what other kind of partitions are doing.
