+/**
+ * strict_strtoul - convert a string to an unsigned long strictly
+ * @cp: The string to be converted
+ * @base: The number base to use
+ * @res: The converted result value
+ *
+ * strict_strtoul converts a string to an unsigned long only if the
+ * string is really an unsigned 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.
+ *
+ * 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_strtoul just ignores the successive invalid characters and
+ * return the converted value of prefix part of the string.
