Why 10?

This should be 2 and increased when another, longer injection type
string gets introduced.

What's wrong with:

	for (i = 0; i < N_INJ_TYPES; i++) {
		if (!strncmp(flags_options[i], buf, strlen(flags_options[i]))) {
			inj_type = i;
			return 0;
		}
	}

	return -EINVAL;

You're assigning cnt to ret here...

... but correcting cnt afterwards. The assignment should be *after* that
correction.
