Subject: [patch] cxgb4: memory corruption in debugfs
Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2015 12:31:44 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150818093144.GG3965@mwanda> (raw)

You can't use kstrtoul() with an int or it causes memory corruption.
Also j should be unsigned or we have underflow bugs.

I considered changing "j" to unsigned long but everything fits in a u32.

Fixes: 8e3d04fd7d70 ('cxgb4: Add MPS tracing support')
