Hi Xueming,
Sorry for the late response.

If we don't use tmp_result, it is maybe better to also replace
sizeof(result.buf) by CMDLINE_PARSE_RESULT_BUFSIZE

I guess the issue you are talking about is the one described in
"cmdline: fix dynamic tokens parsing" in my previous description?
I think this patch is ok, and is probably better than the initial
suggestion, because it avoids to copy the buffer. However, I don't
understand why the previous patch was wrong, can you detail?
Thanks
Olivier
