James Simmons 3ad6152d76 staging: lustre: handle complex strings in cfs_str2num_check
Originally the function cfs_str2num_check used simple_strtoul
but has been updated to kstrtoul. The string passed into
cfs_str2num_check can be a very complex, for example we could
have 10.37.202.[59-61]. When simple_strtoul was used the first
number until we hit a non-digit character could be extracted
but testing showed that kstrtoul will not return any value if
it detects any non-digit character. Because of this change in
behavior a different approach is needed to handle these types
of complex strings. The use of sscanf was investigated to see
if it could be used to extract numbers from the passed in
string but unlike its glibc counterpart the kernel version
also just reported a error with no results if a non-digit value
in the string was encountered. Another possible approach would
be to use __parse_int directly but that class of functions is
not exported by the kernel. So the approach in this patch is
to scan the string passed in for the first non-digit character
and replace that character with a '\0' so kstrtoul can be used.
Once completed the original character is restored. We also
restore a original behavior that was removed to return 0 when
we encounter any non digit character before the nob count.

Lustre Parallel Filesystem Client
=================================

The Lustre file system is an open-source, parallel file system
that supports many requirements of leadership class HPC simulation
environments.
Born from from a research project at Carnegie Mellon University,
the Lustre file system is a widely-used option in HPC.
The Lustre file system provides a POSIX compliant file system interface,
can scale to thousands of clients, petabytes of storage and
hundreds of gigabytes per second of I/O bandwidth.

Unlike shared disk storage cluster filesystems (e.g. OCFS2, GFS, GPFS),
Lustre has independent Metadata and Data servers that clients can access
in parallel to maximize performance.

In order to use Lustre client you will need to download the "lustre-client"
package that contains the userspace tools from http://lustre.org/download/

You will need to install and configure your Lustre servers separately.

Mount Syntax
============
After you installed the lustre-client tools including mount.lustre binary
you can mount your Lustre filesystem with:

mount -t lustre mgs:/fsname mnt

where mgs is the host name or ip address of your Lustre MGS(management service)
fsname is the name of the filesystem you would like to mount.


Mount Options
=============

  noflock
	Disable posix file locking (Applications trying to use
	the functionality will get ENOSYS)

  localflock
	Enable local flock support, using only client-local flock
	(faster, for applications that require flock but do not run
	 on multiple nodes).

  flock
	Enable cluster-global posix file locking coherent across all
	client nodes.

  user_xattr, nouser_xattr
	Support "user." extended attributes (or not)

  user_fid2path, nouser_fid2path
	Enable FID to path translation by regular users (or not)

  checksum, nochecksum
	Verify data consistency on the wire and in memory as it passes
	between the layers (or not).

  lruresize, nolruresize
	Allow lock LRU to be controlled by memory pressure on the server
	(or only 100 (default, controlled by lru_size proc parameter) locks
	 per CPU per server on this client).

  lazystatfs, nolazystatfs
	Do not block in statfs() if some of the servers are down.

  32bitapi
	Shrink inode numbers to fit into 32 bits. This is necessary
	if you plan to reexport Lustre filesystem from this client via
	NFSv4.

  verbose, noverbose
	Enable mount/umount console messages (or not)
