Re: [PATCH 2/4] libkmod-config: re-quote option from kernel cmdline

+++ Lucas De Marchi [12/02/21 01:45 -0800]:

It was reported that grub mangles the kernel cmdline. It turns

acpi_cpufreq.dyndbg="file drivers/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.c +mpf"

into

"acpi_cpufreq.dyndbg=file drivers/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.c +mpf"

However, even though we could blame grub for doing that, the kernel
happily accepts and re-quotes it when the module is built-in.
So, it's better if kmod also understands it this way and does the same.

Here we basically add additional code to un-mangle it, moving the quote
in way that is acceptable to pass through init_module(). Note that the
interface [f]init_module() gives us mandates the quote to be part of the
value: the module name is not passed and the options are separated by
space.

Hi Lucas,

Thanks a lot for working on this. I applied this patchset on top of
kmod master and after some light testing it appears to be able to
handle the mangled quoting from grub now:
