[PATCH v2 28/61] net/ixgbe: use kvargs numeric helpers

Tue Sep 29 18:36:31 CEST 2026


devarg_handle_int() truncates the strtoul() result into a uint16_t and
then infers overflow from the truncated value being USHRT_MAX, so a
value such as "65536" is silently accepted as zero. It also never
checked the end pointer, and read errno without clearing it first.

fiber_sdp3_no_tx_disable and pflink_fullchk are booleans, so make the
fields bool and parse them with rte_kvargs_handle_bool() straight into
the adapter, which also removes the temporary and the "== 1" dance. A
bare key now enables the option, and the usual spellings are accepted.
