Subject: [PATCH 3/5] test_kmod: fix bug which allows negative values on two config options
Date: Wed, 2 Aug 2017 14:14:48 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170802211450.27928-4-mcgrof@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20170802211450.27928-1-mcgrof@kernel.org>
Parsing with kstrtol() enables values to be negative, and we failed
to check for negative values when parsing with either
test_dev_config_update_uint_sync() or
test_dev_config_update_uint_range().
test_dev_config_update_uint_range() has a minimum check though so an
issue is not present there. test_dev_config_update_uint_sync() is only
used for the number of threads to use (config_num_threads_store()),
and indeed this would fail with an attempt for a large allocation.
Although the issue is only present in practice with the first fix
both by using kstrtoul() instead of kstrtol().
