This patch removes the deprecated simple_strtol function from the option parsing logic in the loopback device driver. Instead kstrtoint is used to parse int max_loop, to ensure that input values it cannot represent are ignored.
Signed-off-by: Florian Knauf <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Christian Ewert <[email protected]> --- Thank you for your feedback. There's no specific reason to use kstrtol, other than the fact that we weren't yet aware that kstrtoint exists. (We're new at this, I'm afraid.) We've amended the patch to make use of kstrtoint, which is of course much more straightforward. drivers/block/loop.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/block/loop.c b/drivers/block/loop.c index 102d79575895..adfaf4ad37d1 100644 --- a/drivers/block/loop.c +++ b/drivers/block/loop.c @@ -2289,7 +2289,7 @@ module_exit(loop_exit); #ifndef MODULE static int __init max_loop_setup(char *str) { - max_loop = simple_strtol(str, NULL, 0); + kstrtoint(str, 0, &max_loop); return 1; } -- 2.17.1
