kstrimdup will duplicate and trim spaces from the passed in null terminated string. This is useful for strings coming from sysfs that often include trailing whitespace due to user input.
Is it good idea? I mean "\n\n/foo bar baz" is valid filename in unix. This is kernel interface, it is not meant to be too user friendly...
v6 of this patchset carries your ack of the patch that uses this for /sys/debug/resume, so are you disagreeing we need this support at all or that it shouldn't be the generic sysfs write behavior? If the latter, I agree, and the changelog could be improved to specify what writes we actually care about.
