Subject: [U-Boot] [PATCH v2 1/2] lib: net_utils: make string_to_ip stricter
Date: Wed,  4 Jan 2017 13:36:25 +1300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170104003626.4211-1-judge.packham@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CAFOYHZCH8Ut4qMeBFXP0T2iagbG6mSwUz_0Jy9J6eY3OXjGqGQ@mail.gmail.com>

Previously values greater than 255 were implicitly truncated. Add some
stricter checking to reject addresses with components >255.

With the input "1234192.168.1.1" the old behaviour would truncate the
address to 192.168.1.1. New behaviour rejects the string outright and
returns 0.0.0.0, which for the purposes of IP addresses can be
considered an error.

This was part of my long running IPv6 patchset (which I promise I'll get
back to someday). But I feel this stands on it's own merits.

Changes in v2:
