Subject: [PATCH] bcache: fix 0day error of setting writeback_rate by sysfs interface
Date: Fri, 10 Aug 2018 23:45:50 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180810154550.5020-1-colyli@suse.de> (raw)

Commit ea8c5356d390 ("bcache: set max writeback rate when I/O request
is idle") changes struct bch_ratelimit member rate from uint32_t to
atomic_long_t and uses atomic_long_set() in drivers/md/bcache/sysfs.c
to set new writeback rate, after the input is converted from memory
buf to long int by sysfs_strtoul_clamp().

The above change has a problem because there is an implicit return
inside sysfs_strtoul_clamp() so the following atomic_long_set()
won't be called. This error is detected by 0day system with following
snipped smatch warnings:

drivers/md/bcache/sysfs.c:271 __cached_dev_store() error: uninitialized
symbol 'v'.
270  sysfs_strtoul_clamp(writeback_rate, v, 1, INT_MAX);
     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
@271 atomic_long_set(&dc->writeback_rate.rate, v);

This patch fixes the above error by using strtoul_safe_clamp() to
convert the input buffer into a long int type result.

Fixes: Commit ea8c5356d390 ("bcache: set max writeback rate when I/O request is idle")
