From 48e41899e4a3592746e5263c14681bf5c1393563 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: William Douglas Date: Mon, 31 Oct 2011 17:11:29 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] printk: fix bounds checking for log_prefix Currently log_prefix is testing that the first character of the log level and facility is less than '0' and greater than '9' (which is always false). It should be testing to see if the character less than '0' or greater than '9' instead. This patch makes that change. The code being changed worked because strtoul bombs out (endp isn't updated) and 0 is returned anyway.
