Subject: [PATCH v5] ALSA: control: Fix parsing of numeric fields
Date: Mon,  9 Nov 2026 16:35:31 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261109163531.2639-1-sreekuttan2156239@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261108124832.3058-1-sreekuttan2156239@gmail.com>

parse_uint() passes the remaining input string to kstrtoull().

When the input contains comma-separated fields, the string
contains both the numeric value and the following fields.

For example, with:

device=1,subdevice=0,name=Master

kstrtoull() receives "1,subdevice=0,name=Master" and fails
to parse the numeric value.

Stop parsing at the next comma and pass only the numeric
field to kstrtouint().

Make all parse_*() functions return the end of the current
substring, leaving delimiter handling to set_led_id().
Temporarily terminate the numeric substring in parse_uint()
before calling kstrtouint().

This allows numeric fields to be parsed correctly in
comma-separated input.

v5:
 - Advance past the closing quote in the quoted-string
   branch of parse_string().
 - Ensure parse_string() returns the end of the current
   substring for both quoted and unquoted strings.
v4:
 - Make parse_*() functions consistently return the end of
   the current substring.
 - Let set_led_id() handle comma advancement.
 - Use kstrtouint() after temporarily terminating the
   numeric substring.
v3:
 - No code changes. Retain the v2 implementation after
   comparing the alternative approaches.
v2:
 - Add the Fixes trailer.
