DESCRIPTION
strict_strtoull converts a string to an unsigned long long only if the
string is really an unsigned long long string, any string containing
any invalid char at the tail will be rejected and -EINVAL is returned,
only a newline char at the tail is acceptible because people generally
CHANGE A MODULE PARAMETER IN THE FOLLOWING WAY
echo 1024 > /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak
echo will append a newline to the tail of the string.
It returns 0 if conversion is successful and *res is set to the
converted value, otherwise it returns -EINVAL and *res is set to 0.
simple_strtoull just ignores the successive invalid characters and
return the converted value of prefix part of the string.
