Subject: [PATCH] Set bounds on what /proc/self/make-it-fail accepts.
Date: Tue, 18 Feb 2014 17:06:06 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140218220606.GA9712@redhat.com> (raw)
/proc/self/make-it-fail is a boolean, but accepts any number, including
negative ones. Change variable to unsigned, and cap upper bound at 1.
