Subject: [PATCH] net/txgbe: validate numeric devargs
Date: Wed, 9 Sep 2026 13:40:52 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260909204052.867168-1-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
Be more careful about validating devargs numeric values.
Don't silently truncate to 16 bits, and check for empty
string or trailing garbage.
Fixes: f611dada1af8 ("net/txgbe: update link setup process of backplane NICs")
