This is because we do prefix matching and if five characters are written without a newline, the current code ends up comparing to the first five bytes of the "defer+madvise" option and using that instead. Use the more appropriate sysfs_streq() that handles the trailing newline for us. Since this doubles as a nice cleanup, do it in enabled_store() as well. The current implementation relies on prefix matching: the number of bytes compared is either the number of bytes written or the length of the option being compared. With a newline, "defer\n" does not match "defer+"madvise"; without a newline, however, "defer" is considered to match "defer+madvise" (prefix matching is only comparing the first five bytes). End result is that writing "defer" is broken unless it has an additional trailing character. This means that writing "madv" in the past would match and set "madvise". With strict checking, that no longer is the case but it is unlikely anybody is currently doing this.
