This really may write beyond dev. The kstrtoul(const char *s, unsigned int base, unsigned long *res) only accept unsigned long pointer as the third parameter. And the original function simple_strtoul() returns unsigned long type value. It is also cast. So this may not corrupt the stack. Or do you have any better suggestion about this?

Oh, there exists a whole range of kstrto*() functions. So you can just use kstrtoint().
