bonding: fix string comparison errors
When a bond contains a device where one name is the subset of another (eth1 and eth10, for example), one cannot properly set the primary device or the currently active device. This was reported and based on work by Takuma Umeya. I also verified the problem and tested that this fix resolves it. V2: A few did not like the the current code or my changes, so I refactored bonding_store_primary and bonding_store_active_slave to be a bit cleaner, dropped the use of strnicmp since we did not really need the comparison to be case insensitive, and formatted the input string from sysfs so a comparison to IFNAMSIZ could be used. I also discovered an error in bonding_store_active_slave that would modify bond->primary_slave rather than bond->curr_active_slave before forcing the bonding driver to choose a new active slave. V3: Actually sending the proper patch.... Signed-off-by: Andy Gospodarek <[email protected]> Reported-by: Takuma Umeya <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <[email protected]>
