Subject: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH] batman-adv: fix compat macro for kstrtou32
Date: Fri, 22 Nov 2013 18:38:30 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1385141910-2670-1-git-send-email-antonio@meshcoding.com> (raw)
The macro previously introduced in the compat code to replace
kstrtou32() may not work properly in case of a too large
user input.
Fix it by using a temporary variable of the proper length
and then cast the result.
Possibly return -ERANGE is the result is too big to fix a 32bit
long variable.
