The simple_strtoul function is obsolete. This patch replace it by kstrtoul.
Since kstrtoul is more strict, it permits to filter some invalid input that simple_strtoul accept. For example: echo '1022xxx' > /sys/devices/pnp0/00:03/rtc/rtc0/max_user_freq cat /sys/devices/pnp0/00:03/rtc/rtc0/max_user_freq 1022 Signed-off-by: LABBE Corentin <[email protected]> --- drivers/rtc/rtc-sysfs.c | 11 +++++++++-- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/rtc/rtc-sysfs.c b/drivers/rtc/rtc-sysfs.c index 7273855..463e286 100644 --- a/drivers/rtc/rtc-sysfs.c +++ b/drivers/rtc/rtc-sysfs.c @@ -91,7 +91,12 @@ max_user_freq_store(struct device *dev, struct device_attribute *attr, const char *buf, size_t n) { struct rtc_device *rtc = to_rtc_device(dev); - unsigned long val = simple_strtoul(buf, NULL, 0); + unsigned long val; + int err; + + err = kstrtoul(buf, 0, &val); + if (err) + return err; if (val >= 4096 || val == 0) return -EINVAL; @@ -175,7 +180,9 @@ wakealarm_store(struct device *dev, struct device_attribute *attr, } else adjust = 1; } - alarm = simple_strtoul(buf_ptr, NULL, 0); + retval = kstrtoul(buf_ptr, 0, &alarm); + if (retval) + return retval; if (adjust) { alarm += now; } -- 2.4.10 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
