5 * The only reason this code can be compiled as a module is because the
6 * ATA code that depends on it can be as well. In practice, they're
7 * both usually compiled in and the module overhead goes away.

13 * glob_match - Shell-style pattern matching, like !fnmatch(pat, str, 0)
14 * @pat: Shell-style pattern to match, e.g. "*.[ch]".
15 * @str: String to match. The pattern must match the entire string.
17 * Perform shell-style glob matching, returning true (1) if the match
18 * succeeds, or false (0) if it fails. Equivalent to !fnmatch(@pat, @str, 0).
20 * Pattern metacharacters are ?, *, [ and \.
21 * (And, inside character classes, !, - and ].)
23 * This is small and simple implementation intended for device blacklists
24 * where a string is matched against a number of patterns. Thus, it
25 * does not preprocess the patterns. It is non-recursive, and run-time
26 * is at most quadratic: strlen(@str)*strlen(@pat).
28 * An example of the worst case is glob_match("*aaaaa", "aaaaaaaaaa");
29 * it takes 6 passes over the pattern before matching the string.
31 * Like !fnmatch(@pat, @str, 0) and unlike the shell, this does NOT
32 * treat / or leading . specially; it isn't actually used for pathnames.
34 * Note that according to glob(7) (and unlike bash), character classes
35 * are complemented by a leading !; this does not support the regex-style
38 * An opening bracket without a matching close is matched literally.
40 bool __pure glob_match(char const *pat, char const *str)
43 * Backtrack to previous * on mismatch and retry starting one
44 * character later in the string. Because * matches all characters
45 * (no exception for /), it can be easily proved that there's
46 * never a need to backtrack multiple levels.
48 char const *back_pat = NULL, *back_str = back_str;
51 * Loop over each token (character or class) in pat, matching
52 * it against the remaining unmatched tail of str. Return false
53 * on mismatch, or true after matching the trailing nul bytes.
