Subject: [PATCH 1/2] EDAC/device_sysfs: Use kstrtouint for poll_msec to prevent truncation
Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2026 15:55:48 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260730145549.148229-1-inasj268@gmail.com> (raw)
The poll_msec sysfs store uses simple_strtoul() which accepts an
unsigned long, but the target field (poll_msec) is unsigned int. On
64-bit systems, a value > UINT_MAX is silently truncated when stored.
Fix the mismatch by using kstrtouint() instead. This rejects values
> UINT_MAX at parse time, making truncation impossible. Also add a
check for value < 1 to reject the 0-delay case, which would cause the
poll work to spin without delay and consume 100% CPU.
Fixes: e27e3dac6517 ("drivers/edac: add edac_device class")
