Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] loop: replace simple_strtol() with kstrtoint()
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2026 18:03:04 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260831100305.695116-3-cui.tao@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260831100305.695116-1-cui.tao@linux.dev>
From: Tao Cui <cuitao@kylinos.cn>
simple_strtol() is deprecated and swallows errors. Use kstrtoint()
in the max_loop setup code; an invalid option keeps the default and
now says so.
Only mark max_loop_specified when the option was parsed successfully.
With simple_strtol() a garbage string yields max_loop = 0, and
loop_probe()'s "max_loop_specified && max_loop" check short-circuits
on 0, so legacy autoloading is not capped. Keeping max_loop at its
default while still setting max_loop_specified would instead turn the
default into a hard upper bound for dynamic device creation. This
mirrors what max_loop_param_set_int() already does for the module
parameter.

Changes in v2:
- move max_loop_specified = true under the success path, pointed out
by an AI-assisted review of v1.
