lib/bitmap.c: return -EINVAL for grouping errors in __bitmap_parselist

Sometimes the input from user may cause an unexpected result.

just like __bitmap_parse, we return -EINVAL if there is no avaiable digit in each parsing procedures.

You can avoid in-loop incrementation of ndigits if you'll save current totaldigits to ndigits before loop, and check ndigits against totaldigits after the loop:

     ndigits = totaldigits;
     while (...) {
          ...
         totaldigits++;

Maybe it's a good point to rework initial __bitmap_parse() similar way...

I wrote some scripts to do some tests about irqs.
echo "1-3," > /proc/irq/<xxx>/smp_affinity_list
this command ends with ',' by mistake.
actually __bitmap_parselist() will report "0-3" for the final result which is wrong.

I wrote some scripts to do some tests about irqs.
echo "1-3," > /proc/irq/<xxx>/smp_affinity_list
this command ends with ',' by mistake.
actually __bitmap_parselist() will report "0-3" for the final result which is wrong.

Hmm...
I don't think this is wrong passing echo "1-3,".
With or without a comma, the final result must be the same. More flexible format is useful for hard scripts (for your one). It's not too difficult to imagine a script producing a line:

          "1-24,  ,   ,,, ,  12-64, 92,92,92,,,"

And I don't think we should reject user with this once the range is valid. Even more, to spend a time writing some additional code for it, and make user spend his time as well.

I just tried

           cd /home/yury///./././/work

and it works perfectly well for me, and it's fine.

The true problem is that a and b variables
goes zero after comma, and EOL after comma just takes it:
514 do {
...
517 a = b = 0; //
<--- comma makes it 0 here
...
520 while (buflen) {
...
539 /* A '\0' or a ',' signal the end of a cpu# or range */
540 if (c == '\0' || c == ',') //
<---here we just break after '\0'
541 break;
559 }
...
565 while (a <= b) {
566 set_bit(a, maskp); // <--- and
here we set unneeded 0 bit.
567 a++;
568 }

So currently, "1-3,\0" is the same as "1-3,0,\0". And this is definitely wrong.

add __bitmap_parse_common to match any contents and return expected reslut.

as __bitmap_parse_common need NULL-terminated string, we alloc a new buf.

this patch also fix an unexpected parse result issue in __bitmap_parselist.

v3:
__bitmap_parselist now allow some extra input, like ",2, 3,,,, 5-8", at least one digit inside. input like " " ", " is still not allowed.

V2:
__bitmap_parse_common need *base* to parse correct result

V1:
add __bitmap_parse_common and rewrite __bitmap_parse && __bitmap_parselist

  int bitmap_parselist(const char *bp, unsigned long *maskp, int nmaskbits)

Subject: lib/bitmap.c: rewrite __bitmap_parse && __bitmap_parselist

add __bitmap_parse_common to match any contents and return expected reslut.

as __bitmap_parse_common need NULL-terminated string, we alloc a new buf.

this patch also fix an unexpected parse result issue in __bitmap_parselist.

v3:
__bitmap_parselist now allow some extra input, like ",2, 3,,,, 5-8", at least one digit inside. input like " " ", " is still not allowed.

V2:
__bitmap_parse_common need *base* to parse correct result

It looks weird, and I don't like in your version too much:
Name is bad.
There's nothing about bitmap. You just parsing a string for two patterns: %d, and %d-%d.

You do your work twice (at least): first you detect digits in match_token, then - in kstrtoul. You allocate kbuf unconditionally, no matter you need it or not.
You do more than one thing in __bitmap_parse_common (you search number and region). You modify initial string.

Let's consider a more straight interface:

    /*
     * I don't know why this function is not written yet.
     * Maybe it's something ideological...
     */
    void set_bits(unsigned long *bitmap, unsigned long start, unsigned long len);

    /*
     * Takes care of all user whitespaces and commas,
     * Return endp, or error if parse fails, or null if string reached the end.
     */
    char *parse_range(const char *buf, unsigned long *start, unsigned long *len);

than pattern usage would be:

    while (str = parse_range(str, &start, &len)) {
        if (IS_ERROR(str))
            return ...;
        if (start + len >= nbits)
            return ...;

        set_bits(bitmap, start, len);
    }
