[PATCH 25/62] net/iavf: use kvargs numeric helpers

Stephen Hemminger stephen at networkplumber.org
Mon Sep 14 07:46:56 CEST 2026


parse_u16() ignores the end pointer, so "8junk" is accepted, and assigns
a u64 into a u16 without a range check, so "65536" wraps to zero. Zero
is still rejected, as it is the unset marker for quanta_size.

parse_bool() checks neither errno nor the end pointer.

iavf_parse_watchdog_period() uses atoi(), which cannot report an error
at all, so a malformed value becomes zero and the negative check never
fires.

no-poll-on-link-down, auto_reset, auto_reconfig and enable_ptype_lldp
are booleans, so make the fields bool and use rte_kvargs_handle_bool().
That is every caller of the local parse_bool(), so it goes away too. A
bare key now enables the option, and the usual spellings are accepted.
