Subject: [PATCH RESEND] x86/boot: Replace simple_strtoull in parse_gb_huge_pages
Date: Mon, 2 Feb 2026 18:32:20 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260202173223.865709-1-thorsten.blum@linux.dev> (raw)
Replace simple_strtoull() with the recommended boot_kstrtoul() for
parsing the 'hugepages=' boot parameter. Unlike simple_strtoull(), which
returns an unsigned long long, boot_kstrtoul() converts the string
directly to an unsigned long and avoids implicit casting.
Check the return value of boot_kstrtoul() and warn about invalid values.
