There is exactly one argument so there is nothing to split. All split_argv does now is cause confusion and avoid the need for a cast when passing a "const char *" string to call_usermodehelper_setup. So avoid confusion and the possibility of an odd driver name causing problems by just using a fixed argv array with a cast in the call to call_usermodehelper_setup. v1: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/87sged3a9n.fsf_-_@x220.int.ebiederm.org Signed-off-by: "Eric W.
