From: Jim Cromie <jim.cromie@gmail.com> Treat comma as a token terminator, just like a space. This allows a user to avoid quoting hassles when spaces are otherwise needed: :#> modprobe drm dyndbg=class,DRM_UT_CORE,+p\;class,DRM_UT_KMS,+p Add corresponding Strategy 2 control-file fingerprinting checks to verify the exact control-file state of kernel/params callsites after commas-as-spaces, ignored-commas, and quoted-commas queries.
