Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/3] Introduce kernel small arrays (KSA)

Hi guys,

Please review the approach of using small fixed-sized arrays to improve
parsing of values like get_options() does.

This comes to me after fixing an overflow in get_options(). See the thread
for details: https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/5/22/581

If the approach is OK I’ll suggest to replace all of get_options() calls
to ksa_parse_ints() and remove get_options() at all.

Thank you.
