From 434b06ae23bab4f4111a674f9b64409c87fa8df9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" Date: Thu, 10 Aug 2017 15:23:44 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] test_kmod: fix bug which allows negative values on two config options Parsing with kstrtol() enables values to be negative, and we failed to check for negative values when parsing with 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().
