Subject: [PATCH] s390/spinlock: Replace simple_strtoul with kstrtouint in spin_retry_setup
Date: Sat, 13 Dec 2025 13:32:44 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251213123246.356155-2-thorsten.blum@linux.dev> (raw)
Replace simple_strtoul() with the recommended kstrtouint() for parsing
the 'spin_retry=' boot parameter. Unlike simple_strtoul(), which returns
an unsigned long, kstrtouint() converts the string directly to an
unsigned integer.
Check the return value of kstrtouint() and reject invalid values. This
adds error handling while preserving existing behavior for valid values,
and removes use of the deprecated simple_strtoul() helper.
