From ca54cb8c9eb38095dc420b73c6380ce1dbeb10fa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: KOSAKI Motohiro Date: Mon, 14 Dec 2009 18:01:15 -0800 Subject: Subject: Re: [PATCH] strstrip incorrectly marked __must_check Recently, We marked strstrip() as must_check. because it was frequently misused and it should be checked. However, we found one exception. scsi/ipr.c intentionally ignore return value of strstrip. Because it wishes to keep the whitespace at the beginning. Thus we need to keep with and without checked whitespace trim function. This patch adds a new strim() and changes ipr.c to use it.
